The overall issue addressed in this paper is to improve semantic interoperability among and across agent systems. We propose to use explanation as a way to approach that aim. The explanation process is expressed in terms of an explanation ontology shared by the agents who participate to the explanation session. The explanation ontology is defined in a way general enough to support a variety of explanation mechanisms. The paper describes the explanation ontology and provides a working through example illustrating how the proposedgeneric ontology can be used to develop specific explanation mechanism. Finally, the ontology is being integrated into a running agent platform 驴 Agora to demonstrate the practical usefulness of the approach.
