Description

A genesis block is the unmined, deliberately created, very first block in a blockchain. It has no predecessors, i.e. no parent block.

    • Usage

    Instances of :GenesisBlock can have the following properties:

    PROPERTYTYPEDESCRIPTIONRANGE
    From class :Block
    :hasParentBlock owl:AsymmetricProperty Relates a block to its parent in the chain. It always points to the block with a number that is decreased by one, compared to the block it originates from. The relation is asymmetric because if block A is parent to block B then block B can not be parent to block A. It is also irreflexive because a block cannot be parent to itself. :Block
    :blockBeneficiaryReward owl:DatatypeProperty The reward the beneficiary receives for mining a block. It is comprised of the base reward (5ETH), rewards for including uncles (1/32 of block reward per uncle) and the fees of the Tx in the block. xsd:integer
    :blockSize owl:DatatypeProperty The size of the block header in RLP format in bytes. xsd:integer
    :createsPostBlockState owl:FunctionalProperty Relates a block to the global state of the system after all transactions in the block have been executed. :WorldState
    :hasBeneficiary owl:FunctionalProperty Relates a block to the account to which all fees collected from the successful mining of this block are transferred. :Account
    :hasTxTrie owl:FunctionalProperty Relates a block to the trie that contains the data of the transactions contained in the block. :TxTrie
    :containsTx owl:InverseFunctionalProperty Relates a block to a transaction included in it. All containsTx relations of a block comprise the block's transaction list. The order of the transactions is determined by their index value. The property is inverse functional because a transaction can only be included in one block. :Tx
    From class :BlockConcept
    :BlockDataProperty owl:DatatypeProperty Groups all data properties that are specific to a block. These properties are usually functional because a block can only be associated with a single instance of them. owl:Thing
    From class :EthOnConcept
    :simpleDefinition owl:AnnotationProperty This property relates an EthOn concept to a definition in Simple English, intended especially for non-technical users. owl:Thing
    :suggestedStringRepresentation owl:AnnotationProperty This property relates an EthOn concept with a suggested string representation. It can be used to give the term a name, e.g. in program code. owl:Thing
    :conformsTo owl:ObjectProperty Relates an Ethereum concept to the Ethereum protocol variant it conforms to. owl:Thing
    From class :StateTransition
    :createsState owl:ObjectProperty Relates a transition to the state it creates. :State
    From class :StateConcept
    :StateDataProperty owl:DatatypeProperty owl:Thing
    From class owl:Thing
    :AccountObjectProperty owl:ObjectProperty Groups all EthOn account object properties owl:Thing
    :BlockObjectProperty owl:ObjectProperty Groups all EthOn block object properties owl:Thing
    :DASE_RULE owl:AnnotationProperty owl:Thing
    :EthOnAnnotationProperty owl:AnnotationProperty Superclass of all EthOn specific annotation properties. owl:Thing
    :EthOnDataProperty owl:DatatypeProperty Groups all data properties specific to EthOn. owl:Thing
    :EthOnObjectProperty owl:ObjectProperty Groups all EthOn object properties owl:Thing
    :MessageObjectProperty owl:ObjectProperty Groups all EthOn message object properties. owl:Thing
    :NetworkDataProperty owl:DatatypeProperty Groups all EthOn network data properties. owl:Thing
    :NetworkObjectProperty owl:ObjectProperty Groups all EthOn network object properties. owl:Thing
    :StateObjectProperty owl:ObjectProperty Groups all EthOn state object properties. owl:Thing
    :createsPostMsgState owl:FunctionalProperty Relates a message to the global state of the system after all the message has been executed. owl:Thing
    :from owl:ObjectProperty Relates a message to the account it originates from. owl:Thing
    :hasAccountStorage owl:FunctionalProperty Relates an account to the Merkle Patricia tree that encodes its storage contents at a certain account state. This property is Functional because an account state can have only one instance of account storage and inverse functional because an account storage can have only one associated account state. :AccountStorage
    :hasReceiptsTrie owl:FunctionalProperty Relates a block to the trie that contains the block's receipt data. owl:Thing
    :hasTransition owl:ObjectProperty Relates a state to a transition (i.e. a message) that creates a new state. owl:Thing
    :knowsOfUncle owl:ObjectProperty Relates a block to a known uncle. owl:Thing
    :partOf owl:ObjectProperty This is a general relation to express part of relationships. The classic study of parts and wholes, mereology, has three axioms: 1. the part-of relation is Transitive - "parts of parts are parts of the whole" - If A is part of B and B is part of C, then A is part of C Reflexive - "Everything is part of itself" - A is part of A Antisymmetric - "Nothing is a part of its parts" - if A is part of B and A != B then B is not part of A. owl:Thing
    swrla:isRuleEnabled owl:AnnotationProperty owl:Thing
