This paper describes a comprehensive solution for the integration
of object oriented ontology representation frameworks with
logic-based agent communication frameworks. The proposed
solution addresses the problem at both the agent communication
level and the agent implementation level. At the agent
communication level, we propose to extend logic content
languages with some domain independent operators that allow
building logic constructs as propositions from domain dependent
entities defined in an object oriented ontology. At the
implementation level, we propose to use object-oriented databases
as the support for the agent information. Finally, we propose an
automatic mechanism for translating agent messages using the
extended content language into ODMG OQL commands, which
are then used to interact with the object-oriented database. This
binding mechanism relies on a special purpose data dictionary
representing the mapping between the domain ontology and the
agent internal database
