Abstract
We argue that abduction for integrating theories can be a basic principle to formalize creative design processes. Based on this principle, we have proposed Universal Abduction Studio, a design environment in which designers combine different theories to arrive at better design. In this new approach to computational support of conceptual design, the system should offer various types of abductive reasoning from which designers can select an interesting design method. This paper aims at proposing the method of handling terminology by general common ontology and managing in the multiple. We also discuss technologies to implement proposed method of managing terminology.
