P2P Concept Search: Some Preliminary Results

Concept Search extends syntactic search, i.e., search based on the computation of string similarity between words, with semantic search, i.e., search based on the computation of semantic relations between complex concepts. It allows us to deal with ambiguity of natural language. P2P Concept Search extends Concept Search by allowing distributed semantic search over structured P2P network. The key idea is to exploit distributed background knowledge and indices.
