Introduction: In the context of the Semantic Web, interoperability among heterogeneous ontologies is a challenge due to several factors, among which semantic ambiguity and redundancy stand out. In order to overcome such challenges, systems and algorithms are adopted.  In this study, it is understood that controlled vocabularies are a particular form of ontologies. Objective: to obtain a vocabulary resulting from the alignment and merging of the vocabularies Scientific Domains and Scientific Areas of FCT, EuroSciVoc and UNESCO nomenclature for fields of Science&Technology, in the domain of Computer Science, to be used within the IViSSEM project. Methodology: literature review on systems/algorithms for ontology alignment, using the PRISMA methodology; alignment of the three vocabularies; and vocabulary validation through Delphi study. Results: we proceeded to analyse the 25 ontology alignment systems and variants that participated in at least one track of the competition between 2018-2019. Of these systems were selected Agreement Maker Light and LogMap to perform the alignment of the three vocabularies, making a cut for the area of Computer Science. Conclusion: The vocabulary obtained from the Agreement Maker Light presented a better performance. At the end, a vocabulary with 98 terms was obtained in the Computer Science domain to be adopted by the IViSSEM project. The resulting alignment between the vocabulary used at national level by FCT (Portugal) with one used by the European Union (EuroSciVoc) and another one from the domain of Science&Technology (UNESCO), establishing fruitful relationships for other universities and projects, as well as for FCT itself.
