Abstract
Modern distributed systems frequently use autonomous software agents that use ontologies for communication. If each agent owns an ontology as knowledge base and these ontologies change over time, every communication attempt requires merge and revision processes. We discuss visualization possibilities to assist agent developers and researches in understanding these merge and revision processes. In an example we show how these possibilities can help to analyze and explain merging in a complex multi agent system.
