As is shown in the figure 3, the ontology that describes the courses and the generic rules are used by the Extractor Agent. It extracts the skills and capabilities that are obtained after attending these courses. After it, the Reasoner Agent defines the possible competences from the skills. These competences are refined based on the comparisons with the similar competences that exist in the Competence repository and the resulted ontology (of the new competences) is obtained. Our model has some similitude and some functionality like the model presented in [L+05]. As basis for information and knowledge representation, the XML will be used. The main motivation is due to the fat that on the Internet the information must be extracted processed and presented in some specific form. 

Based on it the agents will be able use the information for communicating each other and with the users. 

## Conclusions 

![0_Image_0.Png](0_Image_0.Png)

Ontologies are frequently used in design of complex systems especially in the case of agent usage. Due to the similarities between the ontologies and competences, the ontology construction can be also used for competence construction. The multi-agent concepts are used in ontology construction and based on it the different tools was developed. 

Future our works will concentrate on the refinement of the agent capabilities for construction the ontologies and competences.
