The meaning negotiation process has become a confusing term in the pragmatic web. It does not depend only on convenience to agree, but requires an excellent choice of terms used in the negotiated domain. The presented paper proposes a meaning negotiation model using ontologies merging into several domains and contextual situations. The idea is to design meaning negotiation scenarios using ontologies merging extended into several domains. The results obtained show the impact of merging in meaning negotiation on the multi-agent systems. The influence of merging is interpreted by the dependence between two variables: the meaning negotiation step numbers and the merging ontologies. The authors observe the difference between meaning negotiation step numbers with and without merging. They conclude that merging ontologies has a positive influence on meaning negotiation in different contextual situations of scenarios. To demonstrate the influence, an observable analytical study proof under statistical control is applied.
