Steps For Using Ontology Support

  1. Define an ontology including the schemas for the types of predicate, agent action and concept that are pertinent to the addressed domain.
  2. Develop proper Java classes for all types of predicate, agent action and concept in the ontology.
  3. Selecting a suitable content language among those directly supported by JADE. (use SL).
  4. Register the defined ontology and the selected content language for the agent.
  5. Create and handle content expressions as Java objects that are instances of the classes developed in (2) and let JADE translate these Java objects to/from strings or sequences of bytes that fit the content slot of ACLMessages.
