....particularly simple; agents merely wanted to be with other agents of a similar type. In an actual multiagent system, an agent s preferences are not merely random; rather, they are a function of the world it inhabits. This world, and these preferences, can be described in terms of an ontology (Weinstein Birmingham 1998). For example, in the SMS, information goods and abilities were described in ontological terms, using description logic. This additional information regarding the structure and relationship between agents preferences should be usable, either by agents or system designers, in determining who a ....

....case that different fields use different terms to refer to the same concept. Two problems then arise with respect to congregations: First, can differentiated ontologies be reconciled to a common set of terms so as to allow members different congregations to interact This question is the focus of (Weinstein Birmingham 1998) and will not be treated here, except to comment that methods exist for mapping differentiated ontologies onto a common set of terms. Second, what term should be used to describe a congregation so as to best attract the correct agents In an economic setting, we might rephrase this question as: ....

....future work. 2 RELATED WORK Manually constructing ontologies by combining different ontologies on the same or similar subject into one is called merging [11] Differentiated ontologies having terms that are formally defined as concepts and have local concepts that are shared have been addressed [14]. They use description compatibility measures based on com paring ontology structures represented as graphs and by identifying similarities as mappings between elements of the graphs. The relations they find between concepts are based on the assumption that local concepts inherit from concepts ....
