Abstract [eng] At present, ontologies are widely used for various tasks. The main problem is that takes a lot of time of creating new ontologies. There are no methodologies which allow to merge ontologies or reuse various parts of ontology. The aim of research is to create the methodology of modular development and linking OWL 2 ontologies. This work covers analysis how to create and link the ontologies. During the research, a process was specified for creating and linking ontologies. This process allows creating modular ontologies for better maintenance and reuse. The experiment was accomplished in order to compare the new methodology whit existing one by creating a prototypical tool for merging ontologies. Three ontologies were created and merged using the prototype tool and Protégé. A comparison of results has shown the advantages of the created prototypical tool and methodology behind it against existing ones. The new methodology allows easily merging ontologies and creating new ontologies by reusing various parts of existing ontologies.
