Not all agents are going to be DNA based. [[ Distributed Property: A profile property that is located and managed by (or "informed" and updated by) a service provider. ]] You may as well think of distributed properties in terms of the documents on which those are written. Documents are served up by different services: you can't get more basic than that. Every architecture will have that. This is going back to the core of philosophy of meaning. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_act We can think here in terms of document acts if you want. A distributed property is one that appears on a document served by some other service. So Agent A says "Joe's age is 21". Agent B believes that. And so Agent B allows agent Joe access to his wine collection. The notion of a distributed property as such does not really make sense. But we all understand what it means to rely on someone else for information. Henry
