Build a generic ontology for Agent based modeling and simulation and generate any Agent based model by configuring / specifying the ontology in a particular for a particular domain. In other words how to move from a general ontology for Agent based modeling & simulation to a domain specific ontology that captures Agents and their behavior in a given domain?
I would suggest to align the design of your ontology on the ODD protocol of Grimm et al. 2010 (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030438001000414X). ODD stands "Overview, Design concepts, and Details" and was published in 2006 with the objective to standardize published descriptions of individual-based and agent-based models. Therefore, it may act as a feasible starting point for you ...

You can choose from the following aproaches:
1. Bottom-Upp
Look for any available ABM models that you can analyse. Extract from the particular models the concepts, relationship and all relavant things that you need for the ontology. For each of the ABMs that you have analysed, you could also classify them and create another ontology about the different domains or possible application areas of the ABM models.
2. Top-Down
Use avaliable literature to look for concepts, relationship and all relavant things for the ontology. Create an ontology that encompases the hiierachical terms you elicited from literature. classify the therms arccording to type or application area.
3. Mixed approach
merge the bottom-up and the top-down methods
