Abstract
Ontologies are considered a necessary ingredient for communication among heterogeneous agents in the Web. With the multiplication of ontologies for the same domains, semantic interoperability has become a challenge. In this work, we study the use of ontology negotiation in a agent communication mechanism for agents with ontological reasoning. The resulting communication mechanism allows agents to exchange not only factual but also terminological knowledge about an individual domain and is closely related to available mechanisms in the literature such as KQML and FIPA-ACL.
