The first year started with the usual state of the art building on “Mobile access to Web of Data”. The first phase focused on identifying challenges and solutions in ensuring a coherent access in an unreliable environment and with limited resources and constrained interaction means. Thus, we have identified three relevant fields and bibliographic domains for the first stage of this project:

  • Caching data in client-side and Federation: as we are working with limited technological environment, caching data in client-side and creating federations of caches could reduce the time access to the Web and the down-time of a knowledge sharing platform.
  • Querying and Sharing data: the problem then is to define algorithms and procedures to exchange data in that environment data. We are survey the state of the art to identify the best approach to use the caching and the federation to query and share data.
  • Linked Open Data and Privacy data: the two previous points immediately raise the concern of privacy and the need to define and enforce policies to access/share data between neighbors.

The second year concluded with the publication of an extensive survey:

Mahamadou Toure, Fabien Gandon, Kaladzavi Guidedi, Christophe Guéret, Moussa Lô, et al.. Comparaison des Modèles et Architectures pour un Accès Mobile Restreint et Local au Web de Données : Un état de l’art des architectures et solutions envisageables.
