“…The following graph embeds the same affordance as g 4 : g 4 = { <lamp>, schema:potentialAction, <status action> , <status action>, schema:actionStatus, schema:PotentialActionStatus , <status action>, schema:target, <status form> <status form>, schema:httpMethod, "GET" <status form>, schema:urlTemplate, "target" } This graph uses the schema.org vocabulary for actions. The approach is being used in another research project on agents in manufacturing [20]. Moreover, schema.org actions are used by the Alexa virtual assistant, as a target representation of natural language commands [14].…”

One of the emerging trends in engineering multi-agent systems (MASs) is to use the Web as an environment. On the Web, hypermedia is the guiding principle of agent perception and action. Web standards allow agents to have a single uniform interface to their environment, be it real or simulated. Most recent proposals for hypermedia MASs tend, however, to introduce a coupling between agents and their environment. This paper introduces a framework based on Semantic Web technologies to formalize interactions between agents and a hypermedia environment. Semantic Web technologies and, more specifically, Web ontologies guarantee interoperability on the Web and maximize uncoupling between components. We show how existing ontologies can be used to make existing MAS prototypes fit our framework. Our framework formalizes state transfer, the guiding principle of agentenvironment interactions in hypermedia, with respect to a reference formalism originally introduced by Genesereth and Nilsson. We also show the equivalence between the two in the paper, under certain conditions.
