In the last years ontology development has grown considerably, suggesting the maturing of the efforts towards the development of standard vocabularies, specially in Biomedicine, which can be considered as a complex inter and multidisciplinary domain. However, despite the existence of many methodological approaches and best practices to guide the structuring of the ontology hierarchy and its relations, not much is explained about the methods and techniques used to analyze the domain in order to obtain a list of its relevant concepts and to establish its scope, specially if ontology reuse is desired. In this sense, our goal is to present the contributions of Information Science and Computer Science that can be applied to ontology reuse, as a methodological step towards knowledge acquisition. On doing so, we hope to contribute to the enhancement of ontology aligning and mapping mechanisms in the domain of Trypanosomatids.
