Abstract
Semantic Web Agents have been considered as main type of software to consume the semantic data since the Semantic Web concept was raised first time in the well-known “The Semantic Web” article in 2001. More than a decade passed and there is no collaboration between multi-agent systems and semantic web (or its current realization: linked data web) communities that can be considered important. In this paper, it is argued that initial vision was right and two communities need each other to scale up their current practice. Thus, a conceptual framework is proposed to establish necessary links between agent and linked data web infrastructures. Environment abstraction has a special role in this framework and this role is especially discussed throughout the paper.
