+We study Peer-to-Peer technologies as a foundation to build a location 
transparent,
+hyperstructured desktop environment. We believe that the properties of 
Peer-to-Peer 
+technology, such as the ad hoc connectivity and the lack of central authority, 
+are prerequisites while mobilizing the Fenfire system. 
+
+We focus on finding effiecient methods for locating xanalogical media from the 
Peer-to-Peer 
+network. Currently we use distributed hash tables for searching data, but the 
use of 
+other methods are also studied. In addition, we plan to use globally unique, 
semantic-free 
+references for locating data in Peer-to-Peer environment. 
+
+We have developed a software library, Storm (STORage Module), for storing and 
+retrieving data as immutable byte sequences, which are identified by 
cryptographic
+content hashes. This allows for studying two important issues 
+*of data mobility*: dangling links and version management.
