 \section{Overview}
 
 The Fenfire project \cite{fenfireurl} is an effort to build a location 
transparent, hyperstructured desktop 
-environment. Fenfire uses xanalogical storage model \cite{ted-xu-model} as a 
basis for hyperstructured
-media. Fenfire deploys innovative user interfaces for displaying data to the 
end users. All data in the Fenfire
-is stored in a unified format, i.e., blocks. This features should allow making 
references between \emph{any} 
-data easier and more seamlessly interoperating than in other systems. For 
location transparency in a distributed system, Fenfire 
-uses Peer-to-Peer network for locating and fetching blocks.

distributed nature of the system

system,

Fenfire uses xanalogical storage model 
+\cite{ted-xu-model} as a basis for hyperstructured media. Each data item in 
the Fenfire system has a globally unique

+data easier and more seamlessly interoperating than in other systems. For 
location transparency in the Fenfire system, 
+we are currently analysing the applicably of Peer-to-Peer infrastructure for 
locating and fetching blocks in a 
+distributed environment. Fenfire was formerly also a partial implementation 
 of the ZigZag\texttrademark -- structure, which has been originally invented 
 by Ted Nelson. Now, however, Fenfire uses Resource Description Framework (RDF) 
\cite{w3rdfurl}
 for representing internal data structures and their relationships.

-For location transparency in the Fenfire system, Storm software module 
-must have a support for Peer-to-Peer functionality as it provides low-level 
data storage operations

they are the foundation of Fenfire's
