This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Conference on Semantics of a Networked World: Semantics for Grid Databases, ICSNW 2004, held in Paris, France in June 2004.
The 16 revised full papers presented togehter with 2 invited papers and 7 posters were carefully reviewed and selected from close to 50 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on semantic data integration, peer-to-peer systems, semantics for scientific applications, interoperability and mediation, and global services and schemas.
The explosion in data exchange fostered by the success of the Web has restated semantics as a kernel issue in the development of services providing data and - formationtousersandapplicationsworldwide.Thisnewlydesignatedconference serieson SemanticsfortheNetworkedWorld uni?esintoasingleframework the previous series on Database Semantics and Visual Database Systems that the IFIP WG 2.6 has been o?ering since 1985.

Similarly, P2P computing has attracted substantial attention. Currently, attention is devoted to the provision of middleware services to makecomputationalresourcesinteroperableatthetechnicallevelandtoincrease the e?ciency of use of physical resources. However, as Grid and P2P computing infrastructures are being increasingly adopted, they are likely to have typical problems of information overload that manifest themselves in any large-scale infrastructure for information and application sharing (e.g., the WWW). The need for resource discovery, application and service interoperability, integration and composition manifest themselves in these infrastructures. The ability to interoperate at the semantic level will largely determine the continued success and utilization of these infrastructures.
