Something like doing Linked Data over P2P networks, that is, using distributed hash tables? You might like to have a look at some of that research (you can probably google better than I can). It weakens the provenance etc of the DNS angle, but of course then enables others to publish Linked Data against identifiers where they don�t have the DNS. There are various people who have been interested in it over the years - I have had interesting discussions with some. I played with putting some RDF on bittorrent using IDs that were Linked Data http URIs a while ago (in fact they may still be out there!), but it seems we have enough problems trying to get the http world working before trying other frameworks :-) Hugh On 28 Apr 2014, at 16:55, Luca Matteis <lmatteis@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks John but not really. > > I was specifically looking for research that wasn't based on protocols > such as HTTP, URIs and RDF.
