    IN BRIEF
    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.

    ONTOCHAIN IS BORN
    OUT OF THE FACT
    THAT :
    The internet of the future should be more
    resilient, trustworthy and sustainable.
    6
    The success of the Internet lied in free speech,
    open innovation & Interoperability
    APPROACH: Leverage semantic web and
    blockchain assets to built as a distinct added
    value for the next generation internet:
    -Trustworthy data and services exchange
    -Trustworthy content handling
    However
    Growing concerns that openness, trustworthiness,
    privacy and security are being threatened by the
    quest for high performance and profit
    Multiple threat have been identified when people
    interact with online services :
     Unknown provenance of information
     Anonimity in favor of criminal activities
     Personal privacy violation & personal data exploitation
     Biases in AI algorithms
     No fair rewards for quality contribution
     Spread of fake news
     Centralisation of power
    Existing problems of misuse of
    information can soon achieve even
    more dangerous level !
    OBJECTIVE: Develop a new software
    technologies stack based on this approach for
    different application domains e.g Online media,
    e-Education, e-Health, e-Government, e-
    Commerce, e-Tourism, e-Infrastructures,
    Industry 4.0 entertainment, and so forth.

    • Ontology is the branch of philosophy that studies concepts
    such as existence, being, becoming, and reality. It includes
    the questions of how entities are grouped into basic
    categories and which of these entities exist on the most
    fundamental level.
    • Aristotle’s ontology is the philosophical study of being in
    general, or of what applies neutrally to everything that is real.
    • Plato's ontology is the theory of forms that are discovered
    by the exercise of reason.
    • Gruber’s ontology is an “explicit specification of a
    conceptualization.
    • Borst’s definition is a formal specification of a shared
    conceptualization.
    • W3C’s Semantic Web activity notably with RDF and the
    OWL2 Language species.
