Although it was initially an “Information management proposal” the Web really is a successful « application integration platform ». More importantly, it is both. It is a self-documenting hypermedia system for application and information integration, and that makes the Web very special. Just like it is important to propose a Web of linked data and distributed RDF knowledge graphs as an alternative to data silos, the Web must also support an alternative to intelligence silos and thrive to host a wealth of distributed artificial and natural intelligence forming hybrid communities and managing distributed resources. This is a call for hMAS: Hypermedia Multi-Agent Systems
