Abstract

Recently, there have been several proposals that consider the integration of information and the computation of queries in an open-ended network of distributed peers (Bernstein, Giunchiglia, Kementsietsidis, Mylopulos, Serafini, & Zaihrayen, 2002; Calvanese, De Giacomo, Lenzerini, & Rosati, 2004; Franconi, Kuper, Lopatenko, & Zaihrayeu, 2003) as well as the problem of schema mediation and query optimization in P2P (peerto- peer) environments (Gribble, Halevy, Ives, Rodrig, & Suciu, 2001; Halevy, Ives, Suciu, & Tatarinov, 2003; Madhavan & Halevy, 2003; Tatarinov & Halevy, 2004). Generally, peers can both provide or consume data and the only information a peer participating in a P2P system has is about neighbors, that is, information about the peers that are reachable and can provide data of interest. More specifically, each peer joining a P2P system exhibits a set of mapping rules, in other words, a set of semantic correspondences to a set of peers that are already part of the system (neighbors). Thus, in a P2P system, the entry of a new source, or peer, is extremely simple as it just requires the definition of the mapping rules. By using mapping rules as soon as it enters the system, a peer can participate and access all data available in its neighborhood, and through its neighborhood it becomes accessible to all the other peers in the system.
