The application of P2P Search (semantic and non-semantic) to the Web will involve transforming the Web from the existing browser-server model to a browser-as-both-client-and-server model. This is different than P2P file sharing in the sense that it is about producing and consuming information (or meaning – in case of the P2P semantic Web model) rather than sharing digital data. Thus, P2P Search and P2P Semantic Search in particular may be viewed as being part of the Web 3.0 set of technologies.
[The abstract above hints at a “decentralized knowledge base” version of the previous model implied in the People’s Google post]
