This paper presents an overview on the role of agents in the Semantic Web, which was the topic of the AgentLink Technical Forum Group on ‘Semantic Web Agents’, aimed at fostering closer collaboration between the European communities working in these areas. The paper is structured in three main sections. In the first, we argue how agents are an essential component of the Semantic Web, then we provide a brief history, by no means comprehensive, of how the Semantic Web vision—that includes agents—has evolved over the past fifteen years. We then conclude, reporting on the topics presented and discussed during the Technical Forum.
