Applying the Concept of Knowledge Blockchains to Ontologies

In this position paper we would like to incite a discussion on how the concept of Knowledge Blockchains can be applied to ontologies. Knowledge Blockchains revert to blockchain technologies for enabling a transparent monitoring of knowledge evolution, for tracking the provenance of knowledge, for establishing delegation schemes, and for ensuring the existence of patterns in formal conceptualizations using zeroknowledge proofs. Based on their original application to enterprise models, we discuss which benefits arise from using the concept for ontologies. The paper concludes by outlining further research in this direction.
