"Semantic Web Technologies and E-Business: Toward the Integrated Virtual Organization and Business Process Automation"


Chapter XIII presents an ontology-based query formation and information retrieval
system under the m-commerce agent framework. A query formation approach that
combines the usage of ontology and keywords is implemented. This approach takes
advantage of the tree structure in ontology to form queries visually and efficiently.
It also uses additional aids such as keywords to complete the query formation process
more efficiently. The proposed information retrieval scheme focuses on using
genetic algorithms to improve computational effectiveness.
Chapter XIV proposes a system that, when mature, should be able to support the
needs of travelers in automatically composing and executing their travel arrangements
using software agents. The authors argue and illustrate how Semantic Web
technologies combined with software agents can be used in the proposed system.
Finally, they show how RDF demarcated data is to be used to support personal
information delivery. They conclude with the description of the current state of
implementation and plans for further development of the system.
