Using an O-Telos Peer to Provide Reasoning Capabilities in an RDF-based P2P-Environment

چکیده
The open source project Edutella is an RDF-based Peer-to-Peer infrastructure for digital resources, focusing on learning materials. Building upon the established meta-data standard RDF(S) appropriate for the description of distributed resources in the World Wide Web WWW, it provides a general RDF-based metadata infrastructure for P2P applications. In this paper, after a short introduction to the Edutella infrastructure, we describe how an Edutella peer based on the conceptual modeling language O-Telos, using the ConceptBase meta-database, can provide storage and reasoning capabilities on RDF meta-data in the P2P network. To provide this feature, we exploit the similarity of the O-Telos data model to the RDF(S) data model, and show how RDF(S) meta-data can easily be stored in the ConceptBase database. Finally, we describe how the Datalog-based Edutella query exchange language RDF-QEL can be naturally expressed by O-Telos query classes.

An O-Telos Provider Peer for the RDF-based Edutella P2P-network
The open source project Edutella is a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network for learning materials. It builds upon meta data standards defined for the WWW and aims to provide a RDF-based meta data infrastructure for P2P applications. In this paper we discuss a prototype provider peer for the Edutella network, which provides advanced reasoning peers for RDF data. This prototype peer provides storage and qu...
متن کاملSemantic Web and Peer-to-Peer Technologies for Distributed Learning Repositories
Metadata for the World Wide Web is important, but metadata for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks is absolutely crucial. In this paper we discuss the open source project Edutella and related projects, which combine semantic web and peer-to-peer technologies in order to make distributed learning repositories possible and useful. We describe the main services of the Edutella network infrastructure and i...
متن کاملRDF-based Metadata Management in Peer-to-Peer Systems
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) data integration combines the P2P infrastructure with traditional schema-based data integration techniques. One of the primary problems in this research area is the automation of the process of interoperation among heterogeneous data sources. To facilitate this process, metadata are used to add rich semantics to the data sources. In this paper, we propose an RDF-based layered...
متن کاملDistributed RDF Query Processing and Reasoning in Peer-to-Peer Networks
With the interest in Semantic Web applications rising rapidly, the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and its accompanying vocabulary description language, RDF Schema (RDFS), have become one of the most widely used data models for representing and integrating structured information in the Web. RDF provides a simple and abstract knowledge representation for resources on the Web, while RDFS def...
متن کاملSuper-peer-based routing strategies for RDF-based peer-to-peer networks
RDF-based P2P networks have a number of advantages compared to simpler P2P networks such as Napster, Gnutella or to approaches based on distributed indices on binary keys such as CAN and CHORD. RDF-based P2P networks allow complex and extendable descriptions of resources instead of fixed and limited ones, and they provide complex query facilities against these metadata instead of simple keyword...
