The problem with search engines was addressed in the article. Read the section on Ontologies again.
The idea is the addition of meta-data (data about data). Say you have a web page devoted to your deli. Your page can import an ontology about businesses and say stuff about your deli an a way that search agents can understand (as opposed to just guessing)
If you say, put up meta-data conatining the address of your place, the search agent can grab those directions, interact with an agent devoted to creating directions, then return directions to the pda of a person who is wandering around your town looking for a good deli
