Extracting data from a blockchain network

Abstract:

The invention relates to a method for a model-driven extraction of event data representing an event occurring on a blockchain network by a computational device with access to the blockchain network. The computational device is configured as an ETL-device for executing an ETL-code to modify a data content of an external data structure external of the blockchain network using the extracted event data. The method comprising detecting the event, determining an event schema, providing and executing a the ETL-code. The ETL-code comprises machine-executable instructions for extracting the event data representing the detected event, transforming the extracted event data using the event schema to comply with a data model defining a logical structure of the external data structure and loading the transformed data to the external data structure to modify the data content of the external data structure.
