An architecture based on semantic weblogs for exploring the Web of People

This paper presents an architecture that helps users to collect and qualify meta-information about web resources within a weblog and then share them with a group of people. Our architecture is a peer-to-peer network in which each peer contains a personal knowledge base represented in RDF. The designed weblog model is sufficiently robust, and the semantics of our data model is detailed to allow integration in our system of other Semantic Web applications as well as existing weblogs. We construct a “web of people” exchange protocol built on two primary services: the first one to query distributed personal knowledge bases, and the second one to enable user awareness based on metadata exchanges in asynchronous mode.
