Abstract :
In multi-agent application system, ontologies play an important role in facilitating the share and reuse of knowledge. In the field of object-oriented modeling, Unified Modeling Language (UML) has become standard modeling language and is widely supported by robust commercial tools. This paper shows how UML can be exploited to design the domain ontology model of multi-agent system at the agent level, in particular presents and ontology model diagram by extending the UML class diagram, and discusses the reasoning on UML-based ontology model.
