Viviana Mascardi, James A. Hendler, Laura Papaleo

Abstract: 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].
