Abstract: A representation of ontology by using finite-state machine is considered. This representation allows introducing the operations on ontologies by using regular algebra of languages. The operations over ontologies allow automating the process of analysis and synthesis for ontologies and their component parts.

Keywords: ontology, operations, finite automata.
