	 <t>   The Agent Registry (AREG) is an open, vendor-neutral specification
   for publishing, discovering, and resolving artificial intelligence
   (AI) agent definitions.  An AREG registry entry is a lightweight
   metadata document that records where a specific version of an agent
   definition can be fetched, who published it, what version it is, and
   how consumers can verify its authenticity.  AREG also defines a REST
   API that conforming registry servers implement to expose search,
   resolution, and publication endpoints to consumers and publishers.

   AREG is the discovery and registry layer of the Schema Commons agent
   stack.  It is designed to compose with the Autonomous Agent
   Interchange Format (AAIF, SC-006), which defines the content of the
   agent definition document that an AREG entry points to, and with the
   Agent Capability and Profile Model (ACPM, SC-014), which provides
   richer capability, trust, cost, and service-level information that a
   registry entry can reference.  Neither AAIF nor ACPM is required for
   a conforming AREG implementation.
