In this paper we describe a semantic knowledge model of an agent as well as implementation and use of such model using the Jena semantic library and the JADE agent system. The solution has been used and evaluated in the Pellucid and K-Wf Grid projects.

The Pellucid project developed an adaptable and customisable platform for enabling experience management in public organisations. A framework for experience management has been developed based on the generation of ‘active hints’ that are presented to the user according to working context. Working context encompasses both position in the work process and domain-specific characteristics. The pape...

BACKGROUND Pendred syndrome, an autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by deafness and goiter, is caused by a mutation of SLC26A4, which codes for the anion exchanger pendrin. We investigated the relationship between pendrin expression and deafness using mice that have (Slc26a4+/+ or Slc26a4+/-) or lack (Slc26a4-/-) a complete Slc26a4 gene. Previously, we reported that stria vascularis of a...
