AgentOnto: Ontology-Guided LLM Agents for Enterprise Data Analytics

Enterprise data analysis requires agents to connect analytical requests with knowledge distributed across databases, business documents, and existing example tasks. Without an explicit representation of this knowledge, an agent may produce incorrect analytical results and cannot reliably incorporate feedback. We present AgentOnto, an ontology-guided LLM agent for enterprise data analytics. AgentOnto organizes heterogeneous enterprise knowledge into an ontology that directly guides analysis and incorporates confirmed feedback. Iterative Ontology Preparation further improves the ontology through self-generated analysis tasks. We evaluate AgentOnto on two public data sources. AgentOnto substantially outperforms representative methods, while module-level evaluations confirm the effectiveness of ontology construction, analysis, and updating. A real-world deployment further demonstrates its practical value in enterprise analytics. These results demonstrate that explicitly constructing, using, and updating enterprise knowledge supports reliable and adaptable data analysis.
