The author, an internationally cited expert in the knowledge grid field, explores these topics:

• A general methodology of the RSM - the origin, fundamental concepts, characteristics and the development method

• The relationship between the RSM and the Semantic Link Network, which forms a richer semantic data model to support advanced distributed applications

• The completeness and necessity theory for query operations of the RSM

• The algebra and calculus theory for query operations of the RSM

• The complexity of searching the resource space

• The physical storage mechanism of the resource space

• The P2P-based decentralized resource space

• The probabilistic RSM, which enables users or applications to deal with uncertainty when storing and retrieving resources
  

The Web Resource Space Model represents a major contribution to the field of knowledge grid, offering a highly efficient model for managing e-resources. It is essential reading for researchers of the web, semantic web, and decentralized data engineering.
