TLDR
The integration of agent technology and ontologies could significantly affect the use of Web services and the ability to extend programs to perform tasks for users more efficiently and with less human intervention.Abstract:
Many challenges of bringing communicating multi-agent systems to the World Wide Web require ontologies. The integration of agent technology and ontologies could significantly affect the use of Web services and the ability to extend programs to perform tasks for users more efficiently and with less human intervention.read more

Semantic Web services
TL;DR: The authors propose the markup of Web services in the DAML family of Semantic Web markup languages, which enables a wide variety of agent technologies for automated Web service discovery, execution, composition and interoperation.

What Is an Ontology
TL;DR: This paper shall revisit the previous attempts to clarify and formalize such original definition of (computational) ontologies as “explicit specifications of conceptualizations”, providing a detailed account of the notions of conceptualization and explicit specification, while discussing the importance of shared explicit specifications.

Resource description framework: metadata and its applications
TL;DR: This survey aims at providing a glimpse at the past, present, and future of this upcoming technology and highlights why it is expected that knowledge discovery and data mining can benefit from RDF and the Semantic Web.

Simulation, verification and automated composition of web services
TL;DR: This paper defines the semantics for a relevant subset of DAML-S in terms of a first-order logical language and provides decision procedures for Web service simulation, verification and composition.

A translation approach to portable ontology specifications
TL;DR: This paper describes a mechanism for defining ontologies that are portable over representation systems, basing Ontolingua itself on an ontology of domain-independent, representational idioms.

Building Large Knowledge-Based Systems: Representation and Inference in the Cyc Project
TL;DR: This review has been difficult for me to write, because my thoughts about Cyc have changed a great deal since I first read the book in the spring of 1990 and I agree with his complaints about the confusing organization of the book and the lack of precise definitions.

OIL in a Nutshell
Dieter Fensel,Ian Horrocks,Frank van Harmelen,Stefan Decker,Michael Erdmann,Michel C. A. Klein +5 more
TL;DR: This work will present OIL, which is a proposal for a joint standard for specifying and exchanging ontologies, based on existing proposals such as OKBC, XOL and RDF schema, enriching them with necessary features for expressing ontologies.
