Abstract

The growing uptake of semantic web and grid ideas is raising the importance of optimising distribution algorithms for semantic metadata. While it is not yet clear how real-world metadata distribution patterns ought to evolve, practical experience of social and technical networks suggests that a small-world pattern is desirable and practical. We explore simulated small-world networks of semantic metadata and some graph parameters and metrics. We discuss the implications of inter- and intra-domain path lengths for semantic queries on web and grid structures.
