Agents have been used to support a great diversity of tasks in digital libraries such as those related with services or information management. This paper describes the role of agents we have termed "reference agents" in a Virtual Reference Environment which has been designed to support collaboration and reuse of knowledge. We include a brief description of this system, a charaterization of reference agents and some previous results of their operation. We also propose the use of ontologies as an alternative to deal with keywords ambiguity.
Index Terms:
collaborative workspaces, digital libraries, reference services, agents, ontologies
