Mapping ontologies is a crucial step to facilitate semantic interoperability between systems. Different matchers can be used in order to find the correspondences between two ontologies. These matchers can be contradictory, thus leading to a conflict. In order to manage this conflict, we propose an approach by using the Dempster-Shafer theory. Every matcher is considered as a source of evidence and the match results as the mass functions. Managing conflict is dealt when combining between the different results using for that purpose different rules of combination.
