This report describes the progress that has been achieved during the second year (full time equivalent 1 July 2006 - 1 July 2008) of our Ph.D. research. All the work has been built upon the achievements of the first year and confirmed that the original research objectives were correctly identified at the beginning of the research. We have successfully participated in the Ontology Mapping Evaluation Initiative 2006 and 2007 (2008 ongoing activity), which provided a qualitative comparison of our and other ontology mapping systems. Further it created a possibility to identify our future research work that needs to be carried out in order to achieve our original research objectives that were set out in the formal Ph.D. research proposal. The organization of this report corresponds to original research proposal. The last section describes the thesis outline.
