Abstract

In this paper, we argue that implementing the grand vision of the Semantic Web would greatly benefit from a service which can enable the reuse of globally unique URIs across semantic datasets produced in a fully decentralized and open environment. Such a service, which we call Entity Name System (ENS), stores pre-existing URIs and makes them available for reuse mainly - but not only - in Semantic Web contents and applications. The ENS will make the integration of semantic datasets much easier and faster, and will foster the development of a whole family of applications which will exploit the data level integration through global URIs for implementing smart semantic-based solutions.
