    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

    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.
