Abstract
This paper presents a method for the adaptation of domain ontologies to different contexts and user profiles. It is applied to the modeling of conformity checking in construction. Considering a method we have developed to acquire and represent the expert knowledge involved in the conformity checking process, we highlight the need to reduce the gap between the expert knowledge primary captured in the domain ontology and the end user knowledge. We propose a method to contextualize the ontological knowledge initially acquired and to adapt it to different user profiles.
