[CostAT] WG1. Semantics

Coord. Axel Polleres

First a short review of the purpose of this WG. The main challenges are

  • novel ways of semantic alignment
  • take into account agent interaction
  • ontologies+non-monotonic rules for meaning preserving and mergind theories

Main goals

  • integration of ontologies and nonmon rules
  • quering over distributed ontologies (maping rules and lalignmnets)
  • alginment with web standards (RDF, RIF, OWL, SPARQL, SA-WSDL)

Some activities:

SPOT2009 and COIN@MALLOW

Participants (Axel’s remembered to join to the list and subscribe as ‘active member of the WG

Our points

  • services
  • open MAS: organisations
  • content language (magentix) RDF and envelope (FIPA)
  • agreement spaces -> contracts

other intersetng thigs

  • coherence -> rewards, sanctions
  • small world networks (navigable) to distribute

All people explaining thath are they doinjg…. I¡ll take that from the slides

URJC

Service matchmaking. Elena is going to work with them.

AI-LAB

mode ont. matching as CSP from multiple agents.

Evolution mof ontologies (RS-COE): agreed conceptualisation -> TELEX

NOMADIS Lab

Policy specification and enforcement. Not MAS, because it’s applied to sensor network (low compt. power) -> centralised policy. Using PDL (Policy description language). See workshop about contex.

DERI

Querying distributed semantic web data. Experiments: Lucene API p SoIR with >1000000 clases (data from Billion Triple Challenge)

Interesting, with a lot of work to do and a lot of things to be learned.

(NOTE: galen ontology -owl- for medical concepts)
