+.. Introduce location-independent Web idea (citing
+ benefits from hash-based addressing)---
- - Standing on the shoulders of giants: Example of Web links rotting away
- - History of location-dependence: `TBL ref`_ (like in HT'03 paper)
- - Location-independent, semantic-free, *self-verifying*
- identifiers (ref SFR paper (Balakrishnan et.al. IPTPS'03),
- ref Walfish paper); example: hash-based (ref
- ``hash`` URN namespace Internet-Draft; ref Freenet & others)
- - Proposal: A location-independent Web (closest thing is Freenet (ref))
- - Benefits of hash-based addressing
-
- - Pages easily movable between servers
- - Data accessible as long as anyone keeps a copy
- - Load balancing (download from everyone who has a copy)
- - Can use one addressing scheme with different protocols,
- searching different networks for the content behind a hash
-
- - SFR (semantic-free referencing) not all that close,
- though semantic-free idea shared (SFR takes along
- many problems of the Web)
- - Other projects exploit some of the advantages of hash-based
- (storage systems: CFS, PAST; web caching: Squirrel),
- but don't address the Web.
- - Possibility of desktop integration in ways that the location-dependent
- Web cannot archieve, through the unique combination of
- network transparency and location independence (ref ourselves).
-
-- However, there's a problem with this: versioning
-
- - Basic problem: Hash-based addressing allows no updates
-
-- Contributions; structure of this paper
-
- - Main contrib: Pointer records for implementing updating
- - Other contribs:
-
- - The idea of a location-independent Web including
- location-independent version management
- - Non-linear versioning through obsoletion
