Abstract
In this paper we propose a framework for guiding the processes of ontology alignment and negotiation in an multiagent environment. The information about the structure of the actual communication network and agent roles is used to support decisions about the operations of ontology alignment. The framework is based on the Deontic Logic which is used for reasoning.
