CHALLENGES - Applications: Define a typical ONTOCHAIN application or service for trustworthy content handling and trustworthy knowledge and information exchange. Define typical ONTOCHAIN use cases, such as: marketplace(s) setup and operation, fact checking against fake information, self-sovereign identity, trusted and secure data management, asset ownership management, secure and transparent copyright management and verification and similar. Analyse the potential of trustworthy ONTOCHAIN applications in various domains such as education, services orchestration, open science, eContent, Social Networks, eHealth, Tourism and similar. Analyse and define the functional, non-functional and system requirements that have to be addressed in the further stages of the ONTOCHAIN project. - Semantic interoperability Develop a trustworthy, privacy-preserving, secure, transparent, democratic and traceable approach to manage access and operations over ontologies, metadata, data, knowledge and information in the ONTOCHAIN ecosystem. - On-blockchain data management Design and develop a set of prototype functionalities for on-blockchain data management. The challenge here is to propose: novel ideas for implementation of on-blockchain data management methods, to identify suitable consensus protocols for implementation, to identify semantic formats particularly suitable for on-blockchain operations 8
rely on, extend and pioneer new methods that provide a trustless interface to the trustworthy blockchain environment. Research and innovation activities may focus on the design and development of initial prototypes for off-blockchain knowledge management that support the various identified use cases and application domains of the ONTOCHAIN project. - Ecosystem economy Existing business ecosystems (in practically all application domains) are semantically very complex and dynamic. The challenge here is to provide a market framework and business models for the operation of such ecosystems with the help of the ONTOCHAIN solution. Existing and novel approaches and business models for business ecosystem development starting from the technology areas of blockchain, Semantic Web, Internet of Things and similar may be analysed in detail, and best practices proposed for implementation. - Ecosystem scalability and integration The challenge is to actually build a semantically complex and dynamic ecosystem and decentralised testing environment with the participation of various project related and external organisations and individuals. The key requirement is to integrate and support the initial ONTOCHAIN applications. In addition to this, various scalability and integration aspects should be considered.
