Ontology-based knowledge management in NGAIEs

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The objective of the knowledge architecture of ATRACO is to enhance communication, as well as to ensure effective knowledge sharing among ATRACO components. It is built around ontologies, ontology managers and agents. Every component of an activity sphere uses an ontology to model its local knowledge and state. These ontologies will certainly be heterogeneous, but they must be used transparently in the context of any sphere. Thus, knowledge management in ATRACO is concerned with the alignment of heterogeneous ontologies, in order to produce the sphere ontology, which encodes the sphere knowledge.
