The general aim of the Multi-Knowledge project is to develop a collaborative environment to allow networks of co-operating medical research centres to create, exchange and manipulate new knowledge from heterogeneous data sources. The Multi-Knowledge service-oriented architecture (MK-SOA) will enable workflow design and execution based on novel operating procedures to manage and com- bine heterogeneous data and make them easily available for the imputation of study algorithms. In this paper we focus on the peer-to-peer infrastructure we have developed to support the creation of a fully decentralized collaborative environment, in which each party remains autonomous and the interactions between services are seen from a global perspective.
