Ontology-Driven Agent Control: From External Guardrails to Internal Semantic Skeletons

The article presents an ontology-driven approach to controllable Agent execution, replacing external prompt-based constraints with internal semantic structures. It details three pillars—architectural constraints, context engineering, and feedback loops—implemented in the Knora platform using a labeled property graph ontology layer, cognitive engine, and Agent execution layer, with a manufacturing case study showing 70x efficiency gains.
