Management and semantic description of objects for the future internet

By moving from its original host-centric architecture to a new information-centric organization, the Internet will be able to offer new services and applications to end users, allowing for example the on-demand composition of a new service from those already available online. However, this requires the development of a Network of Information to offer users the possibility to annotate, discover and access digital and real-world objects in a convenient way. As such, this paper presents an original architecture to support these new services based on three underlying spaces: a storage space to keep data resilient, an index space to allow efficient search and a communication space to ensure an efficient transfer of data between the different entities.
