With the development of networking technologies and
the advent of the peer-to-peer computing paradigm,
distributed file-sharing systems like Gnutella are
becoming prevalent over time. JXTA, an interoperable and
platform independent peer-to-peer computing
infrastructure, has been adopted in an increasing number
of network applications providing file-sharing and
cooperative service. In this paper, we propose the
metadata search layer which serves as an enhancement to
the CMS (Content Manager Service), a JXTA-based
file-sharing service. Through the metadata search layer,
more precise search of resources could be conducted as
opposed to the inflexible keyword-based search
mechanism employed in most of current file-sharing
applications in use. A compact general-purpose query
language is proposed to facilitate the use of standard
metadata schema and bridge the gap between users and
metadata descriptions of resources. We exemplify the
advantage of the metadata-based search mechanism over
the traditional keyword search with a proof-of-concept
application.
