Ontochain is a European Commission’s Next Generation Internet initiative to fund projects combining Blockchain technologies with knowledge management solutions that address the challenge of secure and transparent knowledge management as well as service interoperability on the Internet.
GraphChain is now one among the seven projects currently supported by Ontochain. It addresses the basic technological proposition for this initiative, i.e., the synergy between ontologies and the Blockchain mechanisms. The generic use of this technology is the trusted, irrefutable, confirmable, and highly available dissemination of knowledge represented by semantic ontologies and knowledge graphs. GraphChain extends the scope of graph data formats traditionally used in semantic technologies and investigating and prototype a solution that can adapt the newest graph database formats, i.e., the property graphs formats.
