An Experience with Ontology-based Agent Clustering

This article presents a structure of multiple shared ontologies to integrate heterogeneous sources. This specific structure is intended to be easy to implement to maintain and to scale, and also close to the human model of conceptualisation. The structure has been investigate in a small scale experiment set in the domain of the international coffee preparation. The experiment has also addressed, an identification of the different types of heterogeneity that can affect the resources.
