An ontology-based dictionary of understanding as a basis for software agents with understanding abilities

ABSTRACT

Nearly 60 types of machine understanding is presented in an ontology-based dictionary as a basis for the development of software agents with understanding abilities. Then a framework for software agents is presented.
