Peer-to-Peer Paradigm for a Semantic Search Engine

This paper provides, firstly, a general description of the research project SEWASIE and, secondly, a proposal of an architectural evolution of the SEWASIE system in the direction of peer-to-peer paradigm. The SEWASIE project has the aim to design and implement an advanced search engine enabling intelligent access to heterogeneous data sources on the web using community-specific multilingual ontologies. After a presentation of the main features of the system a preliminar proposal of architectural evolutions of the SEWASIE system in the direction of peer-to-peer paradigm is proposed.
