The complex systems are designed using multi-agent concepts. Agent interaction is complex and requires appropriate models for a communication and cooperation. Also the interaction between the users and the system agents must be done in an efficient way. One of the basic conditions is that to use a convenient “language”, a common way of understanding. The ontology is the appropriate concept that allows doing it. The operations on the ontologies cover many of such requirements. Due to the complexity of systems interaction that has an impact on the different ontologies used in them. Our model tries to define a specific operation deriving an ontology form another one. The competence descriptions in education are given as an application. The research for this paper has been partial supported by the project PN II 91-047/2007.
