A Semantically-Rich, Graphical Environment for Collaborative Ontology Development in Agentcities
msra(2008)
摘要
This paper presents current research on a semantically- rich, graphical representation of ontologies in the framework of collaborative construction for the Agentcities initiative. The application domain is an open, dynamic test-bed for agent deployment, and the ontologies are encoded in DAML+OIL and explicitly designed to be shared by several agent-based services within this environment. A new tool, called Visual Ontology Modeler, is presented, which meets most of the requirements for collaborative ontology development and management in large-scale efforts, such as Agentcities. The requirements that the Visual Ontology Modeler meets are: an easy to use, easy to understand, graphical representation; configuration management capabilities, including integration with version control; integrated consistency and completeness checking; automated export of DAML+OIL code. However, there are other requirements that are not yet met and form part of current investigation and future work, such as: a real-time, multi-user development environment; the ability to view, analyze, compare and compose multiple models at a time; automated import of DAML+OIL, OWL, RDFS and possibly other traditional ontology languages such as KIF and conceptual graphs.
