The SemanticWeb is a project intended to create a universal medium for information exchange by giving semantics to the content of documents on the Web through the use of ontology definitions. Problems for modelling common-sense reasoning (such as reasoning with uncertainty or with incomplete and potentially inconsistent information) are also present when defining ontologies. In recent years, defeasible argumentation has succeeded as an approach to formalize such common-sense reasoning. Agents operating in multi-agent systems in the context of the Semantic Web need to interact with each other in order to achieve the goals stated by their users. In this paper we propose a XML-based language named XDeLP for ontology interchange among agents in the web.XDeLP for ontology interchange among agents in the web.
