Extend OWL: toward a clustering integration of collaborative ontologies and agents

摘要

In order to solve the problem of how to collaborate with foreign agents and ontologies, a restricted clustering integration approach is proposed. It differs from the traditional approaches in which web ontology language (OWL) is extended by adding some new collaborative interfaces (i. e., agent-link and ontology-link) to it instead of owl: import. Syntaxes of the interface for foreign ontologies and foreign agents, respectively, and a meta-method of clustering integrated collaboration are discussed. The approach focuses on taking advantage of OWL itself to solve the collaborative problems, and it is feasible to track the contexts of new-added knowledge concerning ontological collaboration.
