Abstract
Even if the core technologies for the semantic web are in place, it still lacks some layers that prevent it from being a fully implemented system. One of these layers is the trustworthiness one. In this paper we propose a way to implement trust by the usage of the technology that stays behind the cryptocurrencies. After an analysis of the existing blockchains, an example is built on top of Openchain in order to demonstrate our approach.
