Importing ontological information into planning domain models

We investigate an approach to alleviating the problems of knowledge engineering for AI Planning by importing object structures and object behaviours from shared knowledge structures. In this paper we describe our first steps at devising a method to import knowledge from an application ontology into a form usable within a planning domain model. We evaluate an implemented tool called OWL2OCL which assists in the translation of ontological information into a form usable by a planner.
