Ontology agent for ensuring semantic interoperability among agents and semantic web

The semantic languages like Ontology Web Language, Web Services Modeling Language and Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agent Semantic Language, differ in syntax and semantic representation, result in mismatches that required mapping and interoperability for cross service utilisation among these semantic languages. In this paper, we compiled our work that is a middleware technique to make possible translation among heterogeneous contents on the bases of similar objectives that FIPA Ontology Service Specification provides to agent community. The paper addresses and motivates the relevant topic of achieving semantic interoperability among software agents and semantic web through the development of agent based middleware architecture. Semantic description languages used in our architecture are FIPA SL, W3C's OWL and WSML, in order to dynamically obtain the semantic interoperability in a heterogeneous and distributed environment. The results are evaluated for ontology mappings with traditional parsing technique and SPARQL query based approach.
