Just like the industrial society of the last century depended on
natural resources, today s society depends on information and its
exchange.
Semantic Web technologies address the problem of information
complexity by providing advanced support for representing and
processing distributed information, while peer-to-peer technologies
address issues of system complexity by allowing flexible and
decentralized information storage and processing. Systems that are
based on Semantic Web and peer-to-peer technologies promise to
combine the advantages of the two mechanisms. A peer-to-peer style
architecture for the Semantic Web will avoid both physical and
semantic bottlenecks that limit information and knowledge
exchange.
Staab and Stuckenschmidt structured the selected contributions
into four parts: Part I, "Data Storage and Access," prepares the
semantic foundation, i.e. data modelling and querying in a flexible
and yet scalable manner. These foundations allow for dealing with
the organization of information at the individual peers. Part II,
"Querying the Network," considers the routing of queries, as well
as continuous queries and personalized queries under the conditions
of the permanently changing topological structure of a peer-to-peer
network. Part III, "Semantic Integration," deals with the mapping
of heterogeneous data representations. Finally Part IV,
"Methodology and Systems," reports experiences from case studies
and sample applications.
The overall result is a state-of-the-art description of the
potential of Semantic Web and peer-to-peer technologies for
information sharing and knowledge management when applied jointly.
It serves researchers in academia and industry as an excellent and
lasting reference and source of inspiration.
