This paper explores a distributed ontology framework for tailoring ontologies in the Semantic Grid environment. The framework is divided into five main categories; Ontology Processing, Ontology Location, Ontology Connection, Users’ Connection and Algorithm Location. A number of possible scenarios are discussed following two Case Studies that indicate how the framework can be manipulated and used in various situations. This framework will help developers design tools for tailoring ontologies in the Semantic Grid Environment.
