OIL Ontologies for Collaborative Task Performance in Coalitions of Self-interested Actors

摘要

Presented are the Task Model and the ontologies for arranging cooperative work in an open organization of intelligent agents-executives. These agents dynamically form the coalitions for collaborative task performance. Coalition formation is guided by contracting negotiation in frame of the Arrangement Phase. The role of the Task and Negotiation Ontologies is to provide the shared conceptualisation of the terms, the structures and the procedures used by agents in the processes of activity analysis, decomposition, performance and delegation. The ontologies are formalized in OIL and are translated to DAML (RDF), RDFS, SHIQ notations, thus providing the concepts in the forms of emerging service mark-up standards.
