Publish/Subscribe for RDF-based P2P Networks

Publish/subscribe systems are an alternative to query based systems in cases where the same information is asked for over and over, and where clients want to get updated answers for the same query over a period of time. Recent publish/subscribe systems such as P2P-DIET have introduced this paradigm in the P2P context. In this paper we built on the experience gained with P2P-DIET and the Edutella P2P infrastructure and present the first implementation of a P2P publish/subscribe system supporting metadata and a query language based on RDF. We define formally the basic concepts of our system and present detailed protocols for its operation. Our work utilizes the latest ideas in query processing for RDF data, P2P indexing and routing research.
