Common use of Agreement Protocol Clause in Contracts

Agreement Protocol. The fact that the message history can be modified does not mean that both participants agree on anything. It just allows them to revise earlier statements, which is not sufficient to coordinate actions between agents. In order to coordi- nate, it is required to come to a shared understanding about facts, which requires that the agents state the facts and that they signal each other that they agree on them. In the Semantic Web, the core of such an agreement naturally is a set of triples. Consequently, the agreement protocol allows the participants to select a set of triples as agreed-upon.
