Abstract

Currently the Web is the largest available environment for the deployment of agents, and much work in agent research is driven by Web-based applications (Luke et al. (1997), Joachims et al. (1997), Bollacker et al. (1998), Doorenbos et al. (1997) are just some examples; see also the May 2000 special issue of the Artificial Intelligence Journal on intelligent internet systems, 118 (1–2)). However, such applications of agent technology are hampered by the fact that the Web is not geared towards agent use, but is rather designed for human use. Current Web resources are lacking in explicit, machine-accessible descriptions of their contents; they are only fully accessible to agents with a competent grasp of English (i.e. limited to human agents only).
