The Semantic Grid aims at enhancing Grid architectures by knowledge engineering techniques. The service notion is central in this approach. Service-level agreements, called contrac...
In order to obtain semantic interoperability in open MultiAgent Systems, agents need to agree on the basis of different ontologies. In this paper we formally define mapping as cor...
Numerous ontology alignment algorithms have appeared in the literature in recent years, but only a few make use of the semantics enclosed within the ontologies in order to improve ...
This paper presents a specifically database-inspired approach (called DOGMA) for engineering formal ontologies, implemented as shared resources used to express agreed formal semant...
Semantic web services hold the promise of greatly increasing interoperability among software agents and web services by enabling content-based (as opposed to format-based) automat...
