The platform will allow users to retrieve and analyze data from various Polkadot-related sources (e.g., different parachains and components such as browser wallets), aligned with the POnto ontology [1, 2, 3]. Users will be able to specify their queries using a controlled natural language (CNL), and the platform will provide a query engine to process these queries. Additionally, the platform will provide a UI to support constructing queries and visualizing informative artifacts that represent query results. As well as support for composing customizable dashboards using these artifacts. +In its current stage, the platform is composed of a knowledge base (KB) and its initial representation with the POnto ontology [4]. The current grant proposal focuses on populating this KB through the creation of semantic ETL pipelines, i.e. information extraction workflows that will extract, reuse and integrate data from different sources, aligning and structuring domain knowledge in the KB. We will create data extraction mechanisms to gather data from various Polkadot-related sources using Substrate interfaces (e.g. using Substrate-ETL), as well as offchain (e.g., using Github API). + + +[1] POnto source code: https://github.com/mobr-ai/POnto + +[2] POnto documentation: https://www.mobr.ai/ponto + +[3] POnto scientific paper: https://github.com/mobr-ai/POnto/raw/main/deliverables/milestone3/article.pdf + +[4] Polkadot Analytics Platform source code: https://github.com/mobr-ai/PolkadotAnalytics + + +**An indication of how your project relates to / integrates into Substrate / Polkadot / Kusama.** + +The Polkadot Analytics Platform will use the Substrate blockchain framework and Polkadot ecosystem components to extract, store, structure and process data in order to present it in a user-friendly manner. It will leverage the POnto ontology to enable efficient knowledge organization and retrieval. A CNL querying engine will facilitate natural language queries on the ecosystem's data, making it accessible to a broader target audience. + + +**An indication of why your team is interested in creating this project.** + +Our team is committed to research and develop Web3 technologies, supporting the growth of the Polkadot community. By building the Polkadot Analytics Platform, we aim to provide valuable insights, enhance user experience, and enable seamless data exploration for developers, users, and stakeholders. We are enthusiastic about creating user-centric solutions and pushing the boundaries of knowledge-oriented approaches in the blockchain space. + + + +### Project Details + +**Mockups/designs of any UI components** + +Figure 1 presents an overview of how the Polkadot Analytics Platform main components are integrated with its UI and how users can interact with it. + +The user interaction begins with building a query in a controlled natural language format in the platform. For example, the user may enter a query like "How many transactions happened between July 4th and 8th in the Moonbeam parachain?". + +The platform utilizes NLP mechanisms to parse the query and extract key entities, relationships, and actions mentioned. This step involves understanding the user's intent and mapping it to the corresponding concepts in the POnto ontology. This mapping helps establish a semantic understanding of the user query and allows for effective retrieval. + +The results are structured as informative artifacts, enriched with charts to enhance the user's understanding. The summarized query results are presented to the user through a dashboard UI where they can analyze the queried data, refine their queries, and further explore the insights provided. + +Users have the opportunity to provide feedback or refine their queries based on the presented results. The platform may incorporate user feedback to the knowledge base, enhancing future query processing and improving the system's performance and relevance. + +The platform comprises information extraction processes capable of constructing the knowledge base with Polkadot’s ecosystem data, aligned with the POnto ontology. The platform architecture and its components are detailed in the next sections. + +![PAP_overview](https://github.com/rbrandao/Grants-Program/assets/779451/f50051f7-4dbe-474d-96b7-8418cd438e7b) + +Figure 1 - Mockup of how the Polkadot Analytics Platform main components are integrated with its UI + +**Data models / API specifications of the core functionality** + +Data model will reflect the POnto structure. Extracted data will be transformed and injected in a triplestore database. + +The API specifications will provide a standardized way for users to interact with the Polkadot Analytics Platform, allowing them to query specific data, create visualizations, and manage their dashboards effectively. The API will be designed to interact with the knowledge base (i.e. underlying triplestore database), allowing users to access and query the data based on the POnto ontology. The endpoints will provide information about ontology entities (e.g., blocks, extrinsics, etc.), querying support, dashboard setup, informative artifacts, and others. + + +**An overview of the technology stack to be used** + +- **Data processing**: Python and Apache Airflow + +- **Triplestore database**: Apache Jena and Fuseki + +- **Knowledge representation and querying**: OWL, RDF and SPARQL + +- **Information extraction, NLP, and other backend pipelines**: Python, NLTK + +- **UI and client-side integration**: Node.js, JavaScript, and Angular/React + +- **Interaction with relay chains and parachains**: Substrate interfaces like Polkadot{.js} + + +**Documentation of core components, protocols, architecture, etc. to be deployed** + + +The platform's architecture (see Figure 2) follows a modular and scalable design to accommodate future expansions and improvements.

The component will be responsible for extracting data from the Polkadot ecosystem, according to the entities defined in the POnto ontology, including blocks, transactions, and other relevant information. + +Knowledge Management: This component comprises the mechanisms to build and maintain the knowledge representation according to the data extracted and aligned with the POnto ontology, ensuring structured representation and organization. It also comprises the triplestore database where the knowledge representation will be stored. + +==== +Ecosystem layer + +The Polkadot ecosystem has in its core a decentralized network of interconnected blockchains (aka Parachains), and it consists of multiple components. Each component generates data related to blocks, transactions, events, and other relevant information.

While it will provide valuable data insights, it is not designed to be used as a trading tool and will not offer financial advice or recommend investment strategies. + +### Ecosystem Fit + +**Where and how does your project fit into the ecosystem?** + +The Polkadot Analytics Platform will fill a critical gap in the ecosystem by providing users with a comprehensive analytics solution. It integrates with Substrate to access blockchain data and aligns it with the POnto ontology. The CNL querying engine enhances user experience by enabling natural language-based queries. The provision of customizable dashboards and informative visualization artifacts enhances data communication, making it easier for users to track key metrics, monitor trends, and construe valuable insights. + +**Who is your target audience (parachain/dapp/wallet/UI developers, designers, your own user base, some dapp's userbase, yourself)?** + +The proposed platform has a broad target audience, including developers, designers, analysts, researchers, and users within the Polkadot ecosystem. We aim to support both technical and non-technical users, providing easy access to meaningful data insights. + +**What need(s) does your project meet?** + +The Polkadot Analytics Platform addresses the need for comprehensive and accessible data within the ecosystem. It enhances data integration, querying, and visualization, enabling users to gain deeper insights into the Polkadot ecosystem. + +**Are there any other projects similar to yours in the Substrate / Polkadot / Kusama ecosystem?** + +To the best of our knowledge, there are no projects in the ecosystem that provide a holistic and human-centered approach to ease data access and analysis similar to our proposed platform. We are aware of three projects tackling the RFP referred to in this proposal ([PR 1716](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/1716/), [PR 1768](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/1768/), [PR 1837](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/1837/)). However, none of them combines in a broad knowledge-oriented approach, a CNL querying engine, and composable informative artifacts as an integrated analytics platform for Polkadot. + + +**If so, how is your project different?** + +The Polkadot Analytics Platform stands out by integrating knowledge-oriented approaches, formal ontology, and natural language querying to provide an intuitive and efficient analytics experience. Its composable informative artifacts enable users to create customized dashboards tailored to their specific analysis needs. The proposed platform enables both technical and non-technical users to access data and perform deep analysis. + + +## Team :busts_in_silhouette: + +### Team members + +**Name of team leader** + +**Dr. Marcio Moreno**, marcio@mobr.ai, Co-Founder, Research Scientist and CEO at MOBR Systems (https://www.mobr.ai). + +**Names of team members** + +**Dr. Rafael Brandao**, rafael@mobr.ai, Co-Founder, Research Scientist and COO at MOBR Systems (https://www.mobr.ai). + + + +### Contact + +- **Contact Name:** Rafael Brandao + +- **Contact Email:** rafael@mobr.ai + +- **Website:** https://www.mobr.ai + +### Legal Structure + +- **Registered Address:** +Av Paulista, 1106 Sala 01 / ANDAR 16 - Bairro: Bela Vista, Sao Paulo - SP CEP 01310914 + +- **Registered Legal Entity:** +MOBR SYSTEMS LTDA + +### Team's experience + +The applicants were co-authors of the POnto ontology [1, 2, 3, 4] and the upcoming Polkadot Analytics Platform [5].
