The iCoord Knowledge Model for P2P Semantic Coordination

In this paper, we present iKM, the three-layer peer knowledge model developed in the framework of the iCoord system for P2P semantic coordination. iKM grounds on the notion of knowledge chunk embedding the information about concepts to be shared/exchanged across peers for coordination. The main functionalities of iCoord for exploiting an iKM knowledge repository, namely knowledge browsing and data search, will be also presented.
