Towards a Tuplespace-Based Middleware for the Semantic Web

The realization of the Semantic Web needs a set of specialized middleware as its infrastructure. In this paper we describe the principles of tuplespace computing, explain why tuplespaces are a suitable middleware for the Semantic Web, envision “Semantic Web Spaces” 1 and outline how our tuplespace platform XMLSpaces can be extended to support Semantic Web technologies, like RDF(S) and OWL.
