Abstract: The context of this paper is the one of merging lightweight ontologies with prioritized or uncertain assertional bases issued from different sources. This is especially required when the assertions are provided by multiple and often conflicting sources having different reliability levels. We focus on the so-called egalitarian merging problem which aims to minimize the dissatisfaction degree of each individual source. The question addressed in this paper is how to merge prioritized assertional bases, in a possibility theory framework, when the uncertainty scales are not commensurable, namely when the sources do not share the same meaning of uncertainty scales. Using the notion of compatible scale, we provide a safe way to perform merging. The main result of the paper is that the egalitarian merging of prioritized assertional bases can be achieved in a polynomial time even if the uncertainty scales are not commensurable.
