A Reference Model for Semantic Peer-to-Peer Networks

  • Chapter
Journal on Data Semantics XV

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((JODS,volume 6720))

Abstract

Current research directions in Semantic Peer-to-Peer(SP2P) networks are evolving to combine two complementary technologies: Peer-to-Peer(P2P) networks and formally-structured information, Ontology. SP2P systems incorporate several additional features not present in P2P networks. However, the current SP2P research efforts have generated many and diverse realizations and architectures. This diversity in implementation and architecture in turn has led to an ambiguity and incompatibility in defining domain abstracts and concepts and as such has hampered progress in this area. For instance, system comparison as well as their translation into practical implementation have been hindered. In this work, we describe a reference model for SP2P systems in an effort to model the emerging decentralized computing paradigm in a generic and high level abstraction. The potential contribution of the reference model to the advancement of the current SP2P systems spans various areas. These include: 1) an establishment of common terminologies for the domain. This leads to better understanding and communication among members of the community. 2) providing guidelines for comparison among individual systems. Individual systems could be compared with each other in terms of their compliance with the generic model, and their implementation of the generic features.
