SDDG: Semantic desktop data grid

Abstract

Recent advances in grid, semantic web, P2P and web services have revolutionized the way we communicate and collaborate. Undertaking the intersection fulfillment of these technologies on enterprise desktop computers enables new integrative and collaborative use of not only organizational data but also distributed, autonomous personal data on the web by fully leveraging potentially useful information sources on many desktops. In this context, we introduce SDDG, a p2p-semantic-grid enabled information sharing infrastructure for entire enterprise information, which wraps both organizational and personal information sources as semantic grid services and creates a semantic information interoperability environment following a p2p data coordination way. Through a discussion of fundamental scientific positions in general and approaches to information integration research in particular, we depict the basic integration principles from both P2P and semantic grid perspectives. The key contributions of this paper are a P2P semantic grid service oriented framework for SDDG, which is an extension of our previous work [1][2] by reflecting principles of P2P data integration in semantic grid.
