1. A method for accessing databases through ontologies by using an IRIS (Information Representation, Inferencing and Sharing) architecture that includes nodes and links, the method comprising:

  • representing a graph model of the ontologies, where the ontologies include concepts, properties, and relations;

    defining the graph model through high-level constraints;

    using a plurality of agents to formulate queries of the ontologies;

    allowing sections of the ontologies to be named and used as classes;

    creating an inferencing module based on definitions of the relations created by the plurality of agents for evaluating the high-level constraints;

    allowing the semi-automatic mapping of data into the ontologies;

    loading the data into the ontologies;

    allowing the plurality of agents to access the ontologies through the queries; and

    customizing the ontologies through views derived from the queries.
