The Intent-to-Capability Knowledge Gap in Discovery of Agents With Names (draft-hecker-dawn-intent-capability-gap-00)
A. Hecker
Standard body: IETF → (unit not yet charted)
Abstract
DAWN defines discovery as an initial step that returns minimum discoverable information (MDI) about entities. Clients, however, usually start from an intent, not from a name or a capability, and the capabilities needed to satisfy an intent depend on what is available. A client therefore has to know what is on offer to decide what to look for, and has to decide what to look for to learn what is on offer. This document describes that circular dependency, locates it in the current DAWN documents, compares five strategies for handling it, and lists questions for the Architecture work. The main question is what the MDI must contain for a client to act without a pre-agreed capability vocabulary. This document proposes no protocol.
