Discoverable Agent Knowledge -- A Formal Framework for Agentic KG Affordances (Extended Version)
The article presents a formal framework for understanding agentic knowledge graph (KG) affordances. It critiques existing KG metadata standards for lacking insights into what agents can derive from KGs. The authors propose a new semantic layer, the Agentic Affordance Profile (AAP), to enhance KG selection and composition.
- ▪The paper critiques current KG metadata standards like VoID and DCAT for not addressing agent-specific knowledge extraction.
- ▪It introduces the Agentic Affordance Profile (AAP) as a solution for better KG selection and failure diagnosis.
- ▪A five-point research agenda is outlined to advance AAP-based affordance matching.
