Utilising an Ontology Based Repository to Connect Web Miners and Application Agents
Stefan Haustein · 2001
Abstract. Ontologies are important for providing a shared understanding of a domain for web mining agents and other agents accessing the gathered information. When the information access is decoupled from the mining process – for example when building a semantic web server – an additional storage compliant to the application ontology is needed. The COMRIS information layer was built to serve that purpose for a system supporting conference participants. It is able to provide permanent access to gathered or aggregated information suitable for both, humans and software agents by providing FIPA ACL and HTML interfaces. 1
