This document describes a distributed semantic search system (DSSS) developed by a team of 4 students. The system allows users to search for and retrieve XML/RDF documents from a server. It follows a client-server architecture and aims to address issues like secure access management and billing. The system is designed to be highly available, reliable, concurrent, consistent, scalable and caching is allowed to improve performance. A three-tier architecture is used and the document describes the system's functional and non-functional requirements as well as its specializations, demo and server configuration.
