          Keynotes: Web data management on DHTs
Ioana Manolescu

Abstract. Many data management settings involve distribution, due to the participation of multiple data producers and consumers. This is true in particular in the context of Web data, consisting of structured documents, Web services, and semantic data. The development of Distributed Hash Tables (or DHTs in short) lead to their adoption indistributed data management applications, including XML. In this talk, I will present the work carried on in the Gemo INRIA group on building large-scale Web data management platforms  based on DHTs. The talk will span over two peer-to-peer systems backed by DHTs: KadoP, a system we built for indexing and querying  XML content, and VIP2P, a platform for managing corpora of inter-related XML and RDF data.
