R-Chord: A Semantic-based Peer Data Management Model

The key issue of peer data management systems (PDMSs) is how to efficiently organize and manage distributed resources in P2P networks to accurately route queries from the peer initiating the query to appropriate peers to avoid network flooding. This paper proposes a semantic-based PDMS model, called R-Chord, by deploying the resource space model above the Chord overlay for uniformly, normally and effectively organizing and managing resources distributed in P2P networks. Experiments show that, compared to the Chord model, the R-Chord model is more flexible to support semantic-based queries and can significantly decrease the average visiting number of and visiting times on peers for answering queries.
