EMERALD D2.1 — Graph Ontology for Evidence Storage

A uniform graph-based schema (the Certification Graph, CertGraph) for storing and linking the heterogeneous evidence collected at different levels of a cloud service. It describes the development of the ontology, integrating inputs across EMERALD’s evidence-collection and assessment tasks.

By unifying how certification evidence is stored and linked, it enables consistent, machine-readable evidence management across EMERALD’s components, supporting continuous cloud certification. Co-funded by the European Union under the EMERALD Horizon Europe project.
