The Agentic Ontologist

The Agentic Ontologist · ontology engineering with agents

Every decision goes to the cheapest tier that can settle it

The Agentic Ontologist orchestrates four memory-augmented agents to integrate two ontologies: KROMA matches classes, extraction finds missing relations, reasoning places classes that have no match, and validation removes matches that contradict each other. A controller sends each of their questions to label-free evidence, a local model, or an API model, within a budget, and learns from where the two models agree how far the local one can be trusted. One recorded run on the OAEI Mouse–Human anatomy track.

Controller

Settles each question at the first tier that is sure enough, in batches, and stops paying for the API tier when the budget runs out.
