Formal specification of the XML format.

The data itself is available upon email request. It is splitted into one directory per week, one subdirectory per day, one subsubdirectory by hour, and in each of these subsubdirectories three files:

• FileSearch.xml.gz contains file searches, i.e. queries based on keywords and metadata sent by clients, and answers (lists of FileId, filenames and metadata) from the server;
• SourceSearch.xml.gz contains source searches, i.e. queries send by clients to find providers for given FileId, and answers (lists of providers) from the server;
• Main.xml.gz contains basically all other queries, sent to the server to know its load (number of clients and files), to get a textual description of the server, or to get the list of other servers the server knows, and corresponding answers from the server. Notice that the server may also send this kind of queries to other servers, which we then store in this file.
