DARPA Agent Markup Language (DAML) Tools for Supporting Intelligent Annotation, Sharing and Retrieval
January 1, 2007
The UMBC lead DAML project began with the goal to design and prototype critical software components enabling developers to create intelligent software agents capable of understanding and processing information and knowledge encoded in DAML and other semantically rich markup languages. The project was led by Tim Finin (UMBC), who served as the PI, CO-PI Jim Mayfield (JHU) and CO-PI Benjamin Grosof (MIT). The work had three main research thrusts: exploring and evaluating how semantic web technology can be integrated into and used by agent-based systems, developing techniques for building information retrieval systems using semantic web data and knowledge, and developing and evaluating better rule-based systems for the semantic web. This final report describes the most significant results and provides a complete list of papers that provide more information on the research carried out and detailed results. Given the length of the project and the fact that it involved a team of three organizations working sometimes independently and sometimes together, it is difficult to provide a single set of results. Rather, we list one or two major results in each of the three major tasks. To provide detail, we include a number of comprehensive papers as a part of this report. A complete list of papers describing the research and results that were supported by or partially supported by this project is given at the end of this report. Most of these are available on the web and can be obtained by following the links provided. We also list some of the software packages and systems developed by the project.
