In this note we consider design of a information provisioning subsystem for an agent-based virtual organization. Flexible delivery of information is based on matching of ontologically demarcated resource profiles, work contexts, and domain specific knowledge.

In our work, an agent-based system supporting workers in an organization is centered around utilization of ontologically demarcated data. In this system, ontological matchmaking, understood as a way of establishing closeness between resources, is one of key functionalities. Specifically, it is used to autonomously provide recommendations to the user, who is represented by her/his personal agent. These recommendations specify, which among available resources are relevant / of interest to the worker. In this paper, we discuss our approach to measuring semantic closeness between ontologically demarcated information objects, while a Duty Trip Support application is used as a case study. General description of the algorithm is followed by a recommendation example based on support for a worker who is seeking advice in planning a duty trip.

In this paper we consider utilization of ontologies in an agentbased virtual organization. Specifically, in the system flexible delivery of information is to be based on matching of ontologically demarcated resource profiles, work context(s), and domain specific knowledge. In this paper we introduce basic ontologies and their applications.
