Hi everybody, my name is Luciano and I'm a PhD student.
My research field is p2p networks, DHTs and recently I'm adding semantics to
all these. Just a few days ago, I subscribed myself to this list, when I've
found the LOD project. I'm following your debate about how to share the data.
I think the LOD project is very interesting and goes right to the point to
interconect data on the web, that is why the semantic web idea was created for.
As I'm new in this "world", please, correct me if I'm wrong about something..
One thing that I'm realizing is that the manner that the RDF data is found is
very "centralized". Sites like "Ping the Semantic Web" and "Sindice" are fed
with location of RDF data by the very users of these data. They're like a big
index of RDF bases. Is that so?
What I'm researching, and hope some feedback from you guys about, is how to
create a network infrastructure, using the concepts of p2p (structured and
unstructured), that all RDF bases can be put on top of.
In a simple way, what I'm thinking of is an overlay network used to spread and
recover semantic data (RDF) naturally. To publish your data or query about some
data, you just need to have a node that is part of this overlay network (it
could be one node per community...) or to know one node that is part of it.
This overlay network would be composed by semantic links that interconnect the
nodes, having semantic values in this links.
I know it is very vague idea as it was presented here, but I hope you could
send me some feedback.
Am I getting all these correctly? Is there someone that is thinking about these
issues? What do you think about it? Any advices/critics?
Thank you for your attention.
Best regards,
Luciano
