iJADE FreeWalker – An Intelligent Ontology Agent-based Tourist Guiding System

  • Chapter
Computational Intelligence for Agent-based Systems

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 72))

Recently, Semantic Web has received substantial attention from the research community. Semantic web aims to provide a new framework that can enable knowledge sharing and resuing. Semantic Web is a collection of web technologies that include a number of markup languages such as RDF, OWL and RDFS. These markup languages are used for modeling a domain ontology. Ontology is defined as “a formal, explicit specification of a shared conceptualization”.
