Abstract

To perform tasks on the semantic web, software agents must be able to communicate with other agents using domain ontologies, even when considering different ontologies. In this regard, it is necessary to address semantic interoperability to enable agents to recognize common concepts and misunderstandings. In this paper, the authors propose the use of negotiation concepts in business scenarios for addressing concept compatibilization problems in communication between software agents and present an algorithm developed in the GNoSIS system. A validation of this approach is presented.
