It’s been quite the week for the reincarnation of the Semantic Web vision in the age of AI. I had the pleasure of participating in a spontaneous and raw recorded chat with Robert Scoble about this fascinating and important topic. youtu.be/4OQEXG5JukU?... #SemanticWeb #LinkedData #AgenticWeb #AI

I do a lot of hands-on work with AI Agent Skills that are loosely coupled with Data Spaces (databases, knowledge bases, filesystems, and APIs). OpenLink Software now has a publicly accessible AI Agent Skills repository on GitHub that I contribute to directly.

One more thing, OPAL implements MCP as both a Client and Server, so it can bind to operations (tools) published by other MCP Servers that support SSE or Streamable HTTP. Links in the next reply for a quick example.
