Semantic Web and Declarative Agent Languages and Technologies: Current and Future Trends

(Position Paper)

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 7784))

Introduction

One of the first discussions about a Web enriched with semantics and its relationships with artificial intelligence (and hence, with intelligent agents) dates back to 1998 [3], but it was only ten years ago that the idea of a SemanticWeb on top of which agent-based computing would have allowed computer programs to interact with non-local web-based resources, became familiar to a wide audience of scientists [4,18].

The work of the first author has been partially supported by the “Indiana MAS and the Digital Preservation of Rock Carvings” FIRB 2010 project, funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research.
