Linked traversal querying over decentralized environments

Abstract

Linked Traversal Query Processing is a paradigm that introduces the idea of discovering data on-the-fly by following hyperlinks over a set of documents published on the web. A single query can result in a vast answer set and this represents a significant challenge for any data querying approach. In our research, we propose using a strategy based on type-index catalogues to determine the relevance of the sources over a decentralized data-vault environment, also known as the Solid Protocol.
