BLOCKCHAIN-BASED ANALYSIS OF LOCALLY CONFIGURED DATA

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and computer media are described for storing and analyzing locally configured data. Both locally configured data and the corresponding data configurations are stored in a distributed storage platform (e.g., a blockchain). Using an accompanying data configuration to interpret and analyze stored data, accurate and meaningful local and global analyses can be performed, across data from different domains, without prior knowledge or external definition of the data. Storage in a distributed storage platform ensures that data cannot be modified and that all transactions are recorded. Example analyses that can be conducted on the stored locally configured data include audits, searching for variances, general queries for data having certain parameters or values, etc.
