Abstract
The growing interest in the knowledge graph has attracted a great attention from both academia and the industry. Blockchain-based knowledge construction is deemed to be an alternative by adopting smart contract. However, the complexity of blockchain technology is an obstacle to apply blockchain solutions in practical scenarios. In this paper, we propose a Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) approach to address the complexity issue. Through our BaaS system, developers can focus on knowledge graph constructions instead of struggling for mastering blockchain technology. We have implemented our BaaS system and measured the performance.
