This paper introduces a methodology of transforming an existing ontology into the one that satisfies its application. The transformation consists of simplification and realization of word category information. They are based on category headings and base categories. Furthermore, this paper describes a method by which we can identify relationships between category sets. Through the transformation, (1) Roget's thesaurus is reorganized into 7 categories and the base of 'Ontology for Narrative'[32], (2) 22 immersion factors of multimedia games can be subdivided into 207 factors in [35], and (3) the relationships between 10 mental factors and 22 immersion factors of multimedia games are identified in [36].

Immersion means the state of total devotion to what one is involved in. The typical form of this immersion experience happens when one is engaging in computer games. We analyze how the users became immersed in computer games. There are 22 elements of immersion involved in cognitive and emotional fun based cm the flow theory. After analyzing these elements with respect to flow dimension and game mechanics, we find that there are differences in the degree of their immersion in games. There are 7 elements that may be considered preferentially in designing computer games: unity, stimulation, gambling, virtual reality, fantasy, satisfaction accomplishment. We match these elements to Roget's categories and search for new categories with heading information and reference information. As a result 22 immersion elements are subdivided into 229 factors in the concrete. With these factors, we can design a multimedia game which has mon powerful immersion.
