Introduction and Launch Notice – Semantic Agent Communication Community Group

Dear participants,

My name is Tyson Chen, and I would like to introduce myself as the
Chair of the Semantic Agent Communication Community Group.

This message serves as the formal launch notice for the group.

The group has been created to explore and define a structured,
machine-interpretable semantic layer for agent-to-agent communication,
with a focus on identity, intent, delegation, provenance, execution
semantics, and verifiable interaction models across heterogeneous
agent runtimes.

The group will operate fully asynchronously.

All work will be conducted through GitHub issues and pull requests
once the initial repository is created. We have already requested a
GitHub repository under the w3c-cg organization and will begin
organizing discussion threads and draft materials there as soon as it
becomes available.

A Draft Charter (v0.1) has been prepared to outline the group’s
motivation, scope, and planned deliverables.

It includes: interaction semantics (Intent, Delegation, Capability,
ExecutionRecord, CommunicativeActs)

1. identity and verifiability primitives (DIDs, VCs, signatures, provenance)
2. a narrative and semantic ledger model for accountable agent behavior
3. machine-readable ontology artifacts (RDF/OWL vocabularies, JSON-LD
contexts, SHACL shapes)

Once the W3C-cg GitHub repository is set up, the full draft will be
posted there for open review and iteration.

Participation is open, and all individuals or organizations interested
in semantic agent communication, ontology engineering, multi-agent
interoperability, or verifiable delegation models are welcome to
contribute.

A follow-up message will be sent when the repository becomes
available, along with initial discussion items (terminology,
architecture framing, module planning) to begin collaborative work.

I look forward to working with all of you.

Kind regards,
Tyson Chen
