Abstract
The Web is evolving from an “eyeball web”, where cognitive processing of presented information is done by humans, into an “agent web” where such processing is fully automated, leaving man-system interaction only to a presentation layer. (In fact we could posit that the so-called Semantic Web would -strictly speaking of course- be wholly unnecessary if its users would be “merely” humans.)
