Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of DARPA? They are a group of really smart adults who work on creating technology for the United States government. One thing they made is called the DARPA Agent Markup Language (DAML).
Now, you know how we use words to communicate with each other, right? Well, computers can't understand words the way we do. They need their own language to help them understand what we want them to do. That's where DAML comes in.
DAML helps computers talk to each other and understand what they need to do. It's like a secret code that only computers know. It's a way for different computer programs to work together like a team and share information.
Let's say we want to make a computer program that can buy things on the internet for us. We would need to tell the program what we want to buy, how much we want to spend, and where to send it. We can do that using DAML.
DAML makes it easy to write down all the information the computer needs to buy things for us. It tells the program what kind of product we want, what website to look on, how much we want to spend, and how to pay for it.
So, in short, DAML helps computers talk to each other and work together like a team. Isn't that cool?
