Description	The paper presents a novel ontology lifecycle scenario that explicitly takes the dynamics and data-intensiveness of the medical application domains into account. Changing and growing knowledge is handled by semi-automatic incorporation of ontology learning results into a collaborative ontology development framework. This integration bases mainly on automatic negotiation of agreed alignments, inconsistency resolution, ontology versioning system and support of natural language generation tools, which alleviate the end-user effort in the incorporation of new knowledge.
