Re: My paper on applying agentic AI to business workflows

Hi Dave

I wrote somes articles related to W3C’s work on Verifiable Credentials and
Decentralised Identifiers.  You may be interested to check.

Supplier Verification and Cross-Border Payment Use Case (
https://itstysonchen.me/perspectives/architectures/ai-native-management/supplier-verification-cross-border-payment/
)

This document details a critical business process: the secure verification
of a new supplier and the subsequent execution of a cross-border payment.
This scenario is common in global trade and presents significant challenges
related to trust, compliance, and financial risk. By modeling this workflow
using the Agent Ontology(the single source of JSON-LD, TTL, VC), we
demonstrate how autonomous agents can collaborate, delegate tasks, and
establish an auditable trail for complex transactions.

Other articles:

- An analysis of enterprise transformation from OEM to OBM, modeled as a
dynamic shift in agent capabilities, intents, and delegations.  (

)
- AI Liability Insurance and UL-like Certification
(

)

Some discussion and reference implementation are in W3C Semantic Agent
Communication Community Group, which is a major focus in standard of
semantic layer communication.
