An Architecture to Discover and Query Decentralized RDF Data

In this paper we describe a distributed architecture consisting of a combination of scripting tools that interact with each other in order to help to find and query decentralized RDF data. Thanks to this architecture, anyone can participate in the collaborative discovery of Semantic Web documents by simply browsing the web. This system is useful for dynamic discovery of RDF content and can provide a useful source of RDF documents for other Semantic Web applications. Key components of this architecture are the Semantic Radar plugin used for discovery of Semantic Web data, Ping The Semantic Web service for aggregating locations of RDF data, and services using RDF data illustrated here with the example of doap:store.
