It is an efficient way for developing models by composition of reusable components. Successful composition of models means correct in both syntactic and semantic level. Base Object Model (BOM) facilitates and improves the semantic information of simulation model, and its purpose is to improve reusability and composition. However, there is no sufficient information for BOM matching in semantic level because that BOM has no rich and clear semantic information. In this paper BOM ontology is built to enhance BOM semantic information leaving the BOM unaltered by using ontology and an iterative approach is proposed to reduce the complexity of composition. The approach mainly consists of three phases: transformation from conceptual model to event classification model; model search; model matching and composition. Finally, we demonstrate this through a simple simulation system. The result shows that this approach is effective and can simplify the composition of ontologies.
