Abstract
Modularity of ontologies has been recently recognized as a key requirement for collaborative ontology engineering and distributed ontology reuse. Partitioning of an ontology into modules naturally gives rise to development of module processing methods. In this paper we describe an algebra of ontology modules developed during our work on a Knowledge Base Management System called RKaSeA. The idea differs from other algebras in the fact that we treat a module semantically, i.e. we focus on the set of a module's models rather that on the set of axioms and assertions included in its representation The algebra has revealed its potential also in the process of reasoning
