Sumario:OBJECTIVE: to align the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP(®)) Version 2.0 ontology and a proposed INCP(®) Brazilian Ontology. METHOD: document-based, exploratory and descriptive study, the empirical basis of which was provided by the ICNP(®) 2.0 Ontology and the INCP(®) Brazilian Ontology. The ontology alignment was performed using a computer tool with algorithms to identify correspondences between concepts, which were organized and analyzed according to their presence or absence, their names, and their sibling, parent, and child classes. RESULTS: there were 2,682 concepts present in the ICNP(®) 2.0 Ontology that were missing in the Brazilian Ontology; 717 concepts present in the Brazilian Ontology were missing in the ICNP(®) 2.0 Ontology; and there were 215 pairs of matching concepts. CONCLUSION: it is believed that the correspondences identified in this study might contribute to the interoperability between the representations of nursing practice elements in ICNP(®), thus allowing the standardization of nursing records based on this classification system.
