What is Ocean Enterprise?
Ocean Enterprise is a free open-source enterprise-ready data ecosystem software solution that enables companies and public institutions to securely manage and monetize proprietary AI & data products and services in a trusted and compliant environment. Domain agnostic and collectively governed by an independent non-profit association, Ocean Enterprise is shaping a new transparent era of the data economy and is already being used by leading data-driven businesses in aerospace, agriculture, manufacturing, mobility, smart cities and more.
Tech: Data NFTs and Datatokens
Ocean Enterprise enables decentralized access control via token-gating using Data NFTs (for assigning IP) and Datatokens (for consuming data services). Key principles:
Publish data services as a data NFT (ERC721)
Access the datasets and data services if you hold datatokens (ERC20)
Consuming data services = spending datatokens
Crypto wallets, exchanges, and DAOs become data wallets, exchanges, and DAOs.
Tech: Compute-to-Data (C2D)
Ocean Enterprise enables you to buy & sell private data, while preserving privacy
Private data is valuable: using it can improve research and business outcomes. But concerns over privacy and control make it hard to access.
Compute-to-Data (C2D) grants access run compute against the data, on the same premises of the data. Only the results are visible to the consumer. The data never leaves the premises. Decentralized blockchain technology does the handshaking.
C2D enables people to sell private data while preserving privacy, as an opportunity for companies to monetize their data assets.
C2D can also be used for data sharing in science or technology contexts, with lower liability risk, because the data doesn't move.
Data can be on Azure or AWS, Filecoin or Arweave, REST APIs or smart contract feeds. Data may be raw AI training data, feature vectors, trained models, even AI model predictions, or non-AI data.
