Semantic Web and the Internet of Everything

Research Topic
Abstract

OASIS is a foundational OWL 2 ontology that applies the behaviouristic approach to represent multi-agent systems. The behaviouristic approach is an abstraction of operational semantics based on the definition of an agent behaviour through its decomposition in the essential mental states of the agent, namely, goals and tasks that are sought to be accomplished. OASIS has been applied in many fields, including blockchains, e-commerce, and video games. There are many other fields to which OASIS can contribute, from digital humanities to the Internet of Everything. The thesis aims to study in particular the latter field and find a successful application of OASIS. The thesis foresees both a practical and theoretical aspect.
