Abstract
The Web relies on the Domain Name System DNS to resolve the hostname
portion of URLs into IP addresses. This marriage-of-convenience enabled
the Web's meteoric rise, but the resulting entanglement is now hindering
both infrastructures--the Web is overly constrained by the limitations
of DNS, and DNS is unduly burdened by the demands of the Web. There
has been much commentary on this sad state-of-affairs, but dissolving
the ill-fated union between DNS and the Web requires a new way to
resolve Web references. To this end, this paper describes the design
and implementation of Semantic Free Referencing SFR, a reference
resolution infrastructure based on distributed hash tables DHTs.
