UniDataAgent: An Ontology-Grounded Agent for Enterprise Question-to-Report Automation

UniDataAgent (UniDataAgent) is an ontology‑grounded system designed to automate enterprise question‑to‑report tasks while preserving organization‑specific semantics. It separates semantic acquisition from online execution, with an Ontology Acquisition and Validation (OAV) stage that builds versioned ontologies from metadata, business knowledge, and expert input, and a Question‑to‑Report Execution (QRE) stage that retrieves semantic contracts, coordinates skills and data tools, validates results, and produces evidence‑linked reports. In a deployment across 27 enterprise tables and thousands of metric types, ontology construction took a few hours versus a week manually, and report generation took minutes versus several working days, achieving 95.0% strict accuracy on real business questions compared to 72.5% for document RAG.

EvoOntology: A Self-Evolving Ontology Layer for Data Agents

EvoOntology introduces a self‑evolving ontology layer for data agents, encapsulating the ontology as an MCP server with schema, content, and tool layers. It enables agents to query and interact with the ontology at runtime, using a builder agent for autonomous construction and a self‑evolution loop that refines the ontology through attribution‑guided edits validated by backbone‑conditional evaluation. Experiments on three data‑agent benchmarks with four LLM backbones show that EvoOntology consistently outperforms strong baselines and existing semantic‑layer approaches, effectively bridging the agent‑data gap for heterogeneous data.

When CQs Go Wrong: Challenges in CQ Verification with OE-Assist

arXiv:2606. 24619v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Competency Questions (CQs) are the central component of CQ-verification, an established process in which an ontology is evaluated against a set of natural language questions to determine whether the intended purpose of the ontology has been properly modelled.

An Ontology-Guided, Deduplication-Aware Extraction Layer for Knowledge Graph Construction from Heterogeneous Documents

arXiv:2607. 28662v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models extract entities and relationships from unstructured documents fluently but inconsistently: type vocabularies fracture across documents, the same person surfaces under several name variants, relationships duplicate, and distinct individuals who share a name risk silent conflation.
