Researchers in artificial intelligence first developed ontologies to facilitate knowledge sharing and reuse. Ontologies play a major role supporting information exchange across various networks. A prerequisite for such is the development of joint standard specifying exchanging ontologies. The authors present OIL, proposal standard. applied World Wide Web are creating Semantic Web.
CLASSIC is a data model that encourages the description of objects not only in terms their relations to other known objects, but level intensional structure as well. The language structured descriptions permits i) partial individuals, under an 'open world' assumption, ii) answers queries either extensional lists values or necessarily hold all possible answers, and iii) easily extensible schema, which can be accessed uniformly with data. One strengths approach same plays multiple roles...
Current industry standards for describing Web Services focus on ensuring interoperability across diverse platforms, but do not provide a good foundation automating the use of Services. Representational techniques being developed Semantic can be used to augment these standards. The resulting Service specifications enable development software programs that interpret descriptions unfamiliar and then employ those services satisfy user goals. OWL-S ("OWL Services") is set notations expressing...
The Web has drastically changed the availability of electronic information, but its success and exponential growth have made it increasingly difficult to find, access, present maintain such information for a wide variety users. In reaction this bottleneck many new research initiatives commercial enterprises been set up enrich available with machine-processable semantics. paper considers how semantic will provide intelligent access heterogeneous distributed enabling software products (agents)...
By all measures, the Web is enormous and growing at a staggering rate, which has made it increasingly difficult-and important-for both people programs to have quick accurate access information services. The Semantic offers solution, capturing exploiting meaning of terms transform from platform that focuses on presenting information, understanding reasoning with information. To support development, US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency launched DARPA Agent Markup Language (DAML)...

As adaptive agents become more complex and take increasing autonomy in their user's lives, it becomes important for users to trust understand these agents. Little work has been done, however, study what factors influence the level of are willing place Without actions results produced by agents, use adoption as trusted assistants partners will be severely limited. We present a among test CALO, one such agent system, investigate themes surrounding understandability. identify discuss eight...
We describe an intelligent personal assistant that has been developed to aid a busy knowledge worker in managing time commitments and performing tasks. The design of the system was motivated by complementary objectives (1) relieving user routine tasks, thus allowing her focus on tasks critically require human problem-solving skills, (2) intervening situations where cognitive overload leads oversights or mistakes user. draws diverse set AI technologies are linked within...
In many data-centric semantic web applications, it is desirable to use OWL encode the Integrity Constraints (IC) that must be satisfied by instance data. However, challenges arise due Open World Assumption (OWA) and lack of a Unique Name (UNA) in OWL’s standard semantics. particular, conditions trigger constraint violations systems using ClosedWorld (CWA), will generate new inferences OWL-based reasoning applications. this paper, we present an alternative IC semantics for allows applications...
International open government initiatives are releasing an increasing volume of raw datasets directly to citizens via the Web. The transparency resulting from these releases creates new application opportunities but also imposes burdens inherent large-scale distributed data integration, collaborative manipulation and transparent consumption. Tetherless World Constellation (TWC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) has developed Semantic Web-based TWC LOGD Portal support deployment...
