Abstract

This paper discusses how ontology helps Web information processing in a multi-agent system to provide better Web services. We propose the ontology-supported solution integration and proxy techniques for Web information processing, which not only helps the user find out proper, integrated query results in accordance with his/her proficiency level or satisfaction degree, i.e., user-oriented solution, but supports proxy access of query solutions through a multi-agent system with a four-tier solution finding process. Our experiment shows around 79.1% of the user queries can be answered by Proxy Agent for solution application, leaving about 20.9% of the queries for the information preparation of Answerer Agent to take care, which not only can effectively alleviate the overloading problem that usually associated with a backend server, but can improve precision rate and produce better query solutions.
