A coordination model for the semantic web

ABSTRACT

The Semantic Web foresees a Web of machine-processable knowledge interacted with by clients in an operationalized manner. At Web scale, the coordination between clients will be vital for ensuring the success of their interactions. In this paper we consider how a coordination model for the Semantic Web would look, as a precursor to the design and implementation of Semantic Web Spaces, a middleware platform for real-world Semantic Web applications.
