Proposed Group: Smart Contracts Community Group
Posted on:The Smart Contracts Community Group has been proposed by Andrew Brown:
Open protocol to define the structure, terminology, and network messages required of smart contracts.
You are invited to support the creation of this group. Once the group has a total of five supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work. In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account.
Once launched, the group will no longer be listed as “proposed”; it will be in the list of current groups.
If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org
Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
We are exploring an open data approach to smart contracts, using ODRL to specify the smart contract, coupled with existing vocabs (DCAT, PROV, DUV) to model meta-data involved and linked data platform as a basis for exchanging this open meta-data in executing the ODRL contract. We are applying this specifically to data sharing agreement under GDPR. We take such an open data approach to reduce the costs in situations with multiple sharing agreements and also because it offers potential for a level of automation in contract checking, e.g. using DQV. For snapshot of ongoing work see: https://openscience.adaptcentre.ie/
We are also interested in exploring the mapping of smart contract using ORDL to specific distributed ledger technologies, e.g. Solidity/Etherium
