The truth is that information contained in the the web of today is far too simplistic and insufficiently structured for other than very simple and fairly dumb agents to operate within and deliver any business value. This simplicity has been holding up what we believe is a massive explosion of tools and software that can only be likened to the explosion that followed the invention of HTML and HTTP (the web) itself.
XML is the key technology which will begin to unlock the potential of intelligent software agents that can deliver real value back to business. XML allows those agents to identify the information they need to act. Yet XML was only ratified this year. It is this delay which has given technology watchers the impression that agents are a non event.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Richard Murch and I have tried to explain the importance of agents and the key driving technologies which companies need to absorb NOW so they can benefit from the coming explosion of business agents.
