Abstract

An example operation may include one or more of a computer deriving a first set of metrics from processing a first and second set of data analytics, the sets associated with a subject matter. The operation further comprises the one or more computer deriving a second set of metrics from processing a third and fourth sets of data analytics, the third and fourth sets associated with the subject matter. The operation further comprises the one or more computer publishing the first and second set of metrics. The operation further comprises the one or more computer receiving a first plurality of requests for processing of analytics using the first set of metrics. The operation further comprises the one or more computer receiving a second plurality of requests for processing of analytics using the second set of metrics. The operation further comprises the one or more computer maintaining tallies of the requests.

Claims (43)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, via a blockchain server, a submission of a first set of data analytics from a node of a first data source which is directed to a metric;

distributing a voting token for the metric to a digital wallet of the node of the first data source;

receiving, via the blockchain server, a submission of a second set of data analytics from a node of a second data source which is directed to the metric;

distributing a second voting token for the metric to a digital wallet of the node of the second data source;

determining to derive the metric based on the distributed first and second voting tokens;

combining the first set of data analytics and the second set of data analytics to generate the derived metric and storing the derived metric in a chain of blocks on a shared blockchain ledger;

executing, via the blockchain server, a collaborative application which detects a collaborative pattern of fraudulent activity across the combination of the first and second sets of data analytics from the first and second data sources; and

transmitting an alert regarding the detected fraudulent activity to a computing system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the combining comprises storing the first and second sets of data analytics in a blockchain structure on the shared blockchain ledger.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second sets of analytics are based on user transactional behavior that comprises bank deposit activity.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the executing of the collaborative application detects fraud associated with bank deposit activity across first and second financial institutions associated with the first and second data sources.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising soliciting commentary and ratings from the first and second data sources regarding the first and second sets of data analytics.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising classifying the first and second sets of data analytics based on at least one of usability, reliability, and durability, using the solicited commentary and ratings from the first and second data sources.

7. A system comprising:

a memory;

a processor;

an application stored in the memory that when executed on the processor:

receives a submission of a first set of data analytics from a node of a first data source which is directed to a metric;

distributes a voting token for the metric to a digital wallet of the node of the first data source;

receives a submission of a second set of data analytics from a node of a second data source which is directed to the metric;

distributes a second voting token for the metric to a digital wallet of the node of the second data source;

determines to derive the metric based on the distributed first and second voting tokens;

combines the first set of data analytics and the second set of data analytics to generate the derived metric and store the derived metric in a chain of blocks on a shared blockchain ledger;

executes, via the blockchain server, a collaborative application which detects a collaborative pattern of fraudulent activity across the combination of the first and second sets of data analytics from the first and second data sources; and

transmits an alert regarding the detected fraudulent activity to a computing system.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the application stores the first and second sets of data analytics in a blockchain structure on the shared blockchain ledger.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the first and second sets of data analytics are based on user transactional behavior that comprises bank deposit activity.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the detected fraudulent activity is associated with the bank deposit activity.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the application solicits commentary and ratings from the first and second data sources regarding the first and second sets of data analytics.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the application classifies the first and second sets of data analytics based on at least one of usability, reliability, and durability, using the solicited commentary and ratings from the first and second data sources.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

receiving, via a blockchain server, a submission of a first set of data analytics from a node of a first data source which is directed to a metric;

distributing a voting token for the metric to a digital wallet of the node of the first data source;

receiving, via a blockchain server, a submission of a second set of data analytics from a node of a second data source which is directed to the metric;

distributing a second voting token for the metric to a digital wallet of the node of the second data source;

determining to derive the metric based on the distributed first and second voting tokens;

combining the first set of data analytics and the second set of data analytics to generate the derived metric and storing the derived metric in a chain of blocks on a shared blockchain ledger;

executing, via the blockchain server, a collaborative application which detects a collaborative pattern of fraudulent activity across the combination of the first and second sets of data analytics generated by the first and second data sources; and

transmitting an alert regarding the detected fraudulent activity to a computing system.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the combining comprises storing the first and second sets of data analytics in a blockchain structure on the shared blockchain ledger.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to solicit commentary and ratings from the first and second data sources regarding the first and second sets of data analytics.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to classify the first and second sets of data analytics based on at least one of usability, reliability, and durability, using the solicited commentary and ratings from the first and second data sources.
