Abstract

Most blockchains are known for transparency since all on-chain records are open and immutable. However, due to the particularity of the blockchain data structure, users cannot perform semantic searches in the blockchain as in traditional search engines, resulting in inefficient access to blockchain data. To solve this problem, we proposed approaches for semantic search in the blockchain. In particular, we focused on the extraction of semantic information and related data for smart contracts. In this paper, we describe the road map, challenges, and preliminary results of our research.
