2. | ONTOCHAIN.NGI.EU 2 ONTOCHAIN Up to 4.2 Millions € funding and mentoring program with best international experts in Semantic Web, Linked Data, ontology engineering, Blockchain interoperability, knowledge management, distributed and decentralised computing, business models for trusted knowledge … ONTOCHAIN was launched in September 2020 to empower innovators and end users through 3 Open Calls to develop blockchain-based knowledge management solutions that will be part of a novel software ecosystem for a better share of knowledge and value. ONTOCHAIN - Trust traceable and transparent ontological knowledge on blockchain, is a European project funded by the European Commission under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, and part of the European Commission’s Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative. 2
3. 3 OBJECTIVE The internet of the future should be more resilient, trustworthy and sustainable. Develop new software technologies stack at the meeting point between the Semantic Web and Blockchain to enable trustworthy data and services exchange as well as trustworthy content handling for different domains e.g. e-Education, e-Health, e- Government, e-Commerce, e-Tourism, e- Infrastructures, Industry 4.0 entertainment, and so forth. 3 ONTOCHAIN

20. | ONTOCHAIN.NGI.EU 20 ONTOCHAIN Open Calls aim at projects developing scalable blockchain, decentralized reputation systems and semantic web technologies, in order to achieve trustworthy content handling and information exchange as well as trustworthy service exchange in the next generation Internet for vital sectors of the European economy. Open Call 2 specific objective is to implement an infrastructure that will host ONTOCHAIN’s trustworthy data, metadata and services, as well as specific software solutions that can be used widely, further extending the use cases and the architectural features planned by the end of the Open Call 1. Topic 1: Decentralized Oracles for ONTOCHAIN Topic 2: Market Mechanisms for ONTOCHAIN Topic 3: ONTOCHAIN Interoperability & API Gateways Topic 4: ONTOCHAIN Network Design and Scalability Topic 5: Semantic Based Marketplaces for ONTOCHAIN Topic 6: Data Provenance in ONTOCHAIN WHAT KIND OF PROJECTS ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
21. | ONTOCHAIN.NGI.EU WHAT ARE THE FUNDING CRITERIA? 21 Each proposal is evaluated by a set of two experts according to the following criteria: Finalist proposals Online interviews 1-Credibility of proposed project outcomes: Based on the explanations of the proposed solutions, implementation plan, and evaluation of the overall expected value of each project proposal. 2-Value for money: Significance of the project outcomes for ONTOCHAIN with respect to the project duration. 3-Collaborative Spirit/Commitment: Evidence of the applicant’s willingness to enter the ONTOCHAIN community/ecosystem and commitment to get involved in the future. 4-Business compatibility: Understand early exploitation plans and compatibility check against joint overall exploitation plans for ONTOCHAIN platform. Long projects Small projects Reserved list
22. | ONTOCHAIN.NGI.EU WILL ONTOCHAIN MANDATES TO BUILD ON SPECIFIC PROTOCOLS? 22 Different open source solutions already exist for the design and integration of the different layers of the ONTOCHAIN architecture. Developpers, if willing and needing so, can also rely on the blockchain platform provided by iExec which already integrates low level layers of an analogue architecture, i.e. application protocols, core protocols and distributed ledger. In any case, the ONTOCHAIN project plans to (re)design, extend and otherwise integrate existing platforms and solutions, so that they can become integral and interoperable parts of the ONTOCHAIN software ecosystem. The applicants are encouraged to use standards and widely used protocols to allow graceful integration with existing software. With regard to this, a community approach is necessary in order to be able to advance DLT research and innovation and properly integrate open data and semantics with current and future Blockchains.
23. | ONTOCHAIN.NGI.EU WHAT IS THE IEXEC PLATFORM FEATURES? 23 The iExec platform has been developed with more than four years of efforts by iExec: an innovative SME French company whose founders came from the Inria and the Chinese Academy of Science. It supports public, private and federated blockchain solutions. It connects cloud resource sellers with cloud resource buyers, encouraging an ecosystem of decentralized and autonomous, privacy-preserving application, which allows to support a decentralized marketplace of applications, data and resources through decentralized cloud computing in Ethereum. It can be used by ONTOCHAIN participants to base their evolutions and is available under the open source license Apache 2.0. For more information about the code and sources you can access: http://github.com/iexecBlockchainComputing/ For example Dapps, you can access: https://github.com/iExecBlockchainComputing/iexec-apps
24. | ONTOCHAIN.NGI.EU CAN I SUBMIT A PROPOSAL CONSIDERING A MAIN NET OF MY CHOICE? 24 While ONTOCHAIN is open to solutions that can be supported by a number of blockchains, our current L1 blockchain choice is Ethereum. Solutions employing Ethereum L2 and higher layer technologies on top are anticipated to be part of the ONTOCHAIN framework. Solutions implemented into different blockchains should be able to interoperate with the rest of the ecosystem through proper bridges. Having said the above, while different main nets can theoretically be chosen, we strongly encourage applicants to consider Ethereum for their solution prototypes.
