An agent-based ontological approach for information reorganisation

This paper presents a novel approach for information reorganisation which is particularly suitable for distributed computing, such as Web services. An agent-based architecture is developed to cope with service agents’ on and off and provide semantic support for implementation of complex e-business applications that may span diverse enterprises. A frame-based ontology representation is discussed. The representation is well suited for representing complex relationships that are unavailable in current ontology related work. Our approach aims to support dynamic information reorganisation in the Internet based e-business applications. The obtained information can serve for the knowledge acquisition purpose
