Community & Business Groups

Semantic Agent Communication Community Group

The group develops ontology and semantic structures for communication between AI agents operating as delegated and accountable technical principals.

Work focuses on schemas for identity binding, capability disclosure, semantic intent modeling, structured delegation chains, and verifiable execution accountability that connect Web semantics with operating-system contexts and hardware-anchored trust elements.

The objective is to establish a coherent semantic layer capable of supporting interoperable agent-to-agent communication across heterogeneous computational environments.

This work extends Semantic Web foundations—including RDF, Linked Data, DID, and Verifiable Credentials.

Toward agent-native interaction models. Outputs may include conceptual frameworks, shared vocabularies, data schemas, delegation ontologies, and draft interaction structures that may inform future standardization

In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. Please note, however, that W3C Membership is not required to join a Community Group.

This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2025-11-09 by Hsin Yi Chen. The following people supported its creation: Paola Di Maio, Vladimir Alexiev, Lorenzo Moriondo, Hsin Yi Chen, Ernest Chiang and Xiaolin Hu. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.

The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.

We invite you to share news of this new group on social media and other channels.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org
