Description

An English description of the definition (what distinguishes this sense of the term?).

An agreement exists between 2 or more agents. It is established at some point in time and it may be considered valid only in some Location and/or for some interval in time. An agreement may be defined at varying levels of detail, this is supported with the introduction of the ComplexAgreement and AtomicAgreement class.

The class Agreement has the following properties:

  • involvesAgent: identifies the agents that are party to the agreement.
  • validIn: identifies the location where the agreement is valid.
  • establishedOn: specifies the instant of time that agreement was created.
  • validFor: specifies the time interval during which the agreement is in force.

Class Diagram Description

Figure 1 illustrates the use of the Agreement Ontology to represent agreements at different levels of detail. The example shown captures a complex, disjunctive agreement that can be decomposed into two simple agreements. One option (“agr0012”) describes “alice”’s right to have lawn maintenance be performed by “bob”, (also read “bob”’s duty to perform lawn maintenance for “alice”).
