I would suggest a three phase model for transactions operating on shared 
resource:

1.) prepare phase: multiple readers/one writer have access to the resource
2.) modification phase: only one writer has access and can can modify 
the resource
3.) commit/rollback phase: write publishes its local modifications and 
releases the execlusive lock

With this pattern you cold support queries and transactions in parrallel 
(at least for phase 1 and 3).
