Semantic search in P2P networks

Question

hi, we are doing a project that involves semantic search in P2P networks. Basically we want to do a file searching/sharing mechanism that semantically relates files based on the data. we are using RDF to represent the files' metadata. We are stuck with the database part. every peer has a local repository that it uses to store metadata. how do we implement this store? please help..

Answer 1

I would suggest you to use Sesame. It is an open source project for storage and querying of RDF data.

Answer 2

You might find YaCy useful (it's an open source, peer to peer search engine) - you might be able to find some useful techniques in its source code.

If you'd like to search YaCy without running your own peer, you can do so at http://www.peer-search.net
