Abstract

This paper considers Peer-to-Peer systems in which peers employ taxonomies for describing the contents of their objects and for formulating semantic-based queries to the other peers of the system. As each peer can use its own taxonomy, peers are equipped with inter-taxonomy mappings in order to carry out the required translation tasks. As these systems are ad-hoc, the peers should be able to create or revise these mappings on demand and at run-time. For this reason, we introduce an ostensive data-driven method for automatic mapping and specialize it for the case of taxonomies.
