The Ontology-Based Methodology Phases To Develop Multi-Agent System (OmMAS)

Abstract

Semantic aspect on methodology phase is a significant issue to develop multi-agent system in the current days. There are a lot of methodologies to develop multi-agent system, but the current problem is how to choose the best methodology phase to develop current multi-agent system. The development of multi-agent system currently is to be more complex and difficult. Many aspects that contains on multi-agent system, the one of the famous issue now is about semantic aspect on multi-agent system. The old methodology phases are not suitable to develop current multi-agent system. Nowadays, many researchers start to improve and customize the obsolete methodology to adjust with the current needed. There are two research steps contains in this paper, the first step is to review and criticize previous methodologies especially about MOMA (Methodology for Developing Ontology-Based Multi-Agent System) was introduced in 2013. The second step is the main contribution of this paper is to improve previous methodology phases with the new methodology phases named OmMas (The Ontology-Based Methodology phases to Develop Multi-Agent System), and using semantic aspect as the main focus of this methodology. The result of this research is improved ontologybased methodology phases as a representation of semantic aspect on the ontology development process.

OntoDI: The Methodology for Ontology Development on Data Integration

“…In this paper, sixteen methodologies for ontology development are under study, starting from the year of 1989 to 2017 [17,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. This paper reviews and analyzes existing methodologies for ontology development based on four criteria.…”

“…From Table 1, eight methods are classified as solely NoCoDi [17,21,23,26,27,30,31,33] and three methods are solely CoDi [10,22,25,32]. In addition, there exists methodology that combines the NoCoDi and CoDi [19,28,29].…”

“…Moreover, NeOn does not have ontology refinement phase that is required for editing and improving the ontology knowledge when inconsistency errors occur. In addition, the OmMAS methodology [17] has a phase to identify resources from multi-agent system, but OmMAS has too many phases (i.e. nine phases altogether), that can make it less efficient.…”

“…Besides that, many researchers had proposed methodologies to develop ontology knowledge [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. Ontology knowledge is necessary as it became one of the solutions to solve the semantic aspects problem.…”

“…The methodologies for ontology development are evolving in recent years. Every proposed ontology development method is based on specific objectives and domain areas during the implementation of the ontology knowledge [17][18][19]. Section II of this paper discusses on the review and analysis on the existing ontology development methodologies.…”
