Discoverable Agent Knowledge -- A Formal Framework for Agentic KG Affordances (Extended Version)

Terry R. Payne, Valentina Tamma, Enrico Daga

Two decades ago, the Semantic Web Services community was asked how agents with different ontological commitments could discover, compose, and invoke web services coherently. The re…
