Re: Moving Forward with Agentic Linked Data

Hi Melvin,

I think we should have discussion on types of of agents and use cases. My understanding of SOLID. it meant for individual data and I think we should limit the scope to individuals and their use cases. I think discussing agents at large is not appropriate and not a good use of our time. In fact we should only be discussing Agents in a manner that the general public can understand.

Thanks,
Sindhu
