A Survey on Ontologies for Agents

Submitted to WONTO 2006, 2nd Workshop on Ontologies and their Applications.

Abstract

Ontologies and agents are two research areas that have become intertwined in recent years. Ontologies have started to be developed aiming at agent–based ap- plications. Agents have benefited by the use of ontologies in heavily information– based processes.

From the theory of ontology and agenthood to its application in practice, we have reviewed the available literature. Based on our research, we summarize the state–of–the–art in ontology–based agent applications.
