Abstract
An ontology is a specification of a conceptualization related to a domain of knowledge. In an evolution context, it cannot be considered as a finite conceptualization since it must be adapted to new requirements. This adaptation must respect the coherence of the ontology and its conformity regarding some objectives. To update ontology while maintaining its coherence, this paper proposes an anticipatory approach based on corrective operations. For each change to occur on the ontology, we define corrective operations to prevent and correct potential inconsistencies likely to be generated.
