Implementation of FIPA Ontology Service

چکیده
The authors have implemented FIPA 98 Spec 12: Ontology Service. In addition, we developed a sample application of online shopping service that integrated multiple database schemata using the ontology service to verify and demonstrate the specification and the implementation. In this paper, we briefly introduce FIPA and FIPA Specifications at first. Next, we describe Comtec Agent Platform, on which the ontology service is deployed. Then, after reviewing the ontology service specification and its relationship with OKBC, we discuss details of the implementation of the ontology service and demonstration application. We conclude with a prospect of real-world applications in the Agentcities project and future works that we are currently preparing for.

Ontology Agents in FIPA-compliant Platforms: a Survey and a New Proposal
In 2001, FIPA delivered a specification suggesting that each MAS should integrate an “Ontology Agent” (OA) offering services for ontology management. These services should include ontology discovery, maintenance, matching, as well as translation of expressions between different ontologies or content languages. Currently, no FIPA-compliant OA exists that implements all of them. One of the reason...

متن کاملUsing Web Services and Workflow Ontology in Multi- Agent Systems
In this paper, we introduce a transactional workflow ontology for multi-agent systems and web services. Both technologies use messaging, service descriptions and directory services to implement the overall architecture. As web services have already been extended with workflow specifications by IBM, HP and Microsoft, it is natural to apply workflows to agent systems as well. We detected a proble...

This paper presents I-agent system (Intelligible agent system) to improve multi-agent system (MAS) interoperability. It employs ontology management system and its inference ability to assist semantic translation of message content. Also, it uses Java management extensions to manage and integrate heterogeneous multi-agent systems. Besides, the intelligible service description is provided to supp...
