Abstract

GraphChain – a framework for on-chain data management for Blockchains is presented. The framework forms the foundational technology for the Ontochain project offering the synergy between ontologies and the Blockchain mechanisms. The use of Ethereum based Layer-2 mechanisms helped create the idea of Ontospace, which designates an ecosystem for trusted ontologies and trusted processing of smart contracts that can directly use the semantic data.

Supported by Ontochain (European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 957338), and its subprogramme GraphChain – a framework for on-chain data management for Ontochain under grant agreement No. 1477973.
