Agent-oriented approach has proven to be very efficient in engineering complex distributed software environments with dynamically changing conditions. The efficiency of underlying modelling framework for this domain is undoubtedly of a crucial importance. Currently, a model-driven architecture has been the most popular and developed for purposes of modelling different aspects of multi-agent systems, including behaviour of individual agents. UML is utilized as a basis for this modelling approach and variety of existing UML-based modelling tools after slight extension are reused. This paper proposes an ontology-driven approach to modelling agent behaviour as an emerging paradigm that originates from the Semantic Web wave. The proposed approach aims at modelling a proactive behaviour of (web-)resources through their representatives: software agents. In general, the presented research puts efforts into investigation of beneficial features of ontology-based agent modelling in comparison with conventional model-driven approaches.
