Pody: a Solid-based approach to embody agents in Web-based Multi-Agent-Systems
Abstract
In this paper we discuss the problem of situatedness for agents perceiving and acting on the Web (namely, "Web agents"). Assuming Web agents are embodied on the World Wide Web, then we must define what a Web agent's body is. We first provide an abstract definition of a Web agent's body in terms of what it should comprise. Then we propose a concrete definition of it relying on Solid, a recent Web technology for Social Linked Data: we implement a Web agent's body as a data pod. Consequently, we coin the term pody to refer to the Web entity that embodies an agent on the Web with Solid. This paper summarises the findings of a working group from the Dagstuhl Seminar 23081: Agents on the Web (February 19-24, 2023).
