Abstract

Using natural language to model the tendering makes any process associated with tendering automation extremely difficult. Conceptual Graph is a well-known mechanism for knowledge representation. We implemented our ontologies using CGs. In tendering domain, we define two ontologies: The Tendering Structure and the Abstract Domain Ontology. In this paper we survey the indexing and retrieving techniques in CG literatures. Then we build a slight modification of these techniques to build our own indexing technique using these ontologies. Using this technique enables us to define different type of match-making. Also to define finding policies to direct software agents in retrieving process.
