Abstract
To model query answering, a question arises out of how the meaning of a user’s query is functional to get a valuable answer. In this paper, (1) we investigate the question within an existing peer-to-peer architecture for knowledge exchange – called KEx, (2) we extend the query answering functionality of KEx by a co-evolutive process based on the user’s preference information, (3) we model query answering as a language game.
