Towards a tuplespace-based middleware for the semantic Web

Abstract

The realization of the semantic Web needs a set of specialized middleware as its infrastructure. In this paper we describe the principles of tuplespace computing, explain why tuplespaces are a suitable middleware for the semantic Web, envision "semantic Web spaces", and outline how our tuplespace platform XMLSpaces can be extended to support semantic Web technologies, like RDF(S) and OWL.
