Abstract
We outline the synergistic convergence of semantic web technologies, which have driven the advent
of Web 3.0, and blockchain technologies, which have catalyzed the flourishing Web3 ecosystem. The
integration of these technologies holds immense potential for transforming data representation, interoperability, and trust within decentralized knowledge graphs. The utilization of semantic web technologies
enables the creation of machine-readable data formats, facilitating seamless understanding and exchange
across heterogeneous systems. Complementing this, blockchain technologies provide an immutable and
tamper-proof ledger, offering the foundation for establishing trust in decentralized knowledge graphs.
We discuss the adoption of standardized vocabularies and smart contract powered schema alignment to
enhance data exchange and integration with a focus on semantic interoperability, trustworthiness in
semantic reasoning processes, and ownable and traceable resources.
