e-ScienceNet: uma rede ponto a ponto semântica para aplicações em e-science

Abstract

Currently, there are taking place significant changes in the nature of scientific research. In particular, there is a greater collaboration among large groups of researchers, which leads to an increase in the use of information processing techniques, and a greater need to share results and observations among the participants in the process. Using technologies such as Peer to Peer Networks and the Semantic Web, we can create a single point of access to distributed knowledge bases and scientific applications, where scientists can work with heterogeneous information and create scientific communities according to their specialties and interests. This work presents the e-ScienceNet as an architecture that support the storage, share and execution of scientific experiments in a scientific Semantic Peer to Peer Network. To this end, we developed a prototype that performs the interaction between the different network nodes in different semantic scientific communities.
