Abstract

As manufacturing and commerce become ever more global, companies are dependent increasingly upon the efficient and effective sharing of information with their partners, wherever they may be. In this paper, we propose an architecture that, exploiting the Semantic Web technologies, has the objective of allowing semantic interoperability among software agents for logistic applications that preserves, not only the semantic of transmitted messages, but also the subjectivity of agent's world vision in the communication. Such an architecture takes advantage by a particular communication model called Semantic Triangle in which communication agents share the referents (real world objects) and not the references (mental image or impression of a real object from the sender agents point of view) ,thus ensuring an effective semantic interoperability in the information exchange process.
