Abstract :
Nowadays, there are increasing interests in developing methods for synchronizing distributed triple-stores by ensuring eventual data consistency in distributed architecture. The most well-known of them have been designed to serve as a common replicated data type (CRDT), where all concurrent operations commute independently of the centralized control. In this context, CRDT has been proposed for semantic stores, such as SWOOKI, C-Set and SU-Set. However none of the exiting synchronization solutions mention how to ensure Causality, Consistency and Intention preservation criteria of CCI model. This paper proposes B-Set, a new CRDT for the synchronization of semantic stores. B-Set is designed not only to ensure convergence of triples replicas but also to preserve user´s intentions integrated in distributed architecture. The sets of operations are also defined in order to allow concurrent editing of the same shared triple-stores.
