Abstract:
The Semantic Web proposes a structure of significant content for Web pages that is used in knowledge bases and developed from ontologies, that have recently come to coexist on the Web. There are studies to allow agents to navigate through these knowledge bases in search of answers to queries. This work proposes the adaptation of a well-known agent structure, named Jason, in order to allow the agent access to ontologies available on the Web. In this context, efforts have been made to perform the integration of agents with ontologies, most of which allow the knowledge of the agent to be based on a local ontology. However, applying the ability to use semantic data available on the Web to a consolidated belief-desire-intention (BDI) agent structure is a subject that still needs to be explored. Therefore, this work proposes changes in the implementation of the Jason interpreter that would allow agents to access ontologies available on the Web to perform the update of their belief base bas
ed on significant content. As validation, a case study of an educational quiz is presented that uses this information to formulate the questions and validate the answers obtained.
