DeTrusty allows you to make SPARQL queries, which are then passed on to the appropriate data sources in a suitably decomposed form. It works as a federated query engine. The special feature of DeTrusty is that the result is accompanied by meta-information about the origin of the result and the confidence in the correctness of the result. For this purpose it uses cryptographic methods like hashes, merkletrees and block chain in the background to ensure correct information. Additionally, DeTrusty is able to validate integrity constraints expressed in SHACL during query processing. In doing so, it incorporates quality assessment results in the meta-information of the query result.


DeTrusty is the query engine in the H2020 project QualiChain and is used there to enable queries to the QualiChain Knowledge Graph.
