Abstract
Sharing ontology, sensing context and reasoning are crucial to the realization of context-aware software agents. This document describes our effort on using Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the Prolog Forward Chaining (P fc ) system to provide support for ontology sharing and reasoning in the CoolAgent Recommendation System (CoolAgent RS), a context-aware multi-agent system. This document also describes the implementation of the CoolAgent RS document and cuisine recommendation services that provide tailored services by exploiting user’s context.
