Blockchain PSIG Agenda

Join GovDTF for an update on the Vocabularies for Communities of Interest WG:

• History - how we got here
• Principles - what the group is delivering for TFs and SIGs
• Broader proposition for OMG groups' sharing of terms, abbreviations and references
• Current Status of each of the pieces
• Your Feedback - from TF, SIG etc. 

Meeting in room hosted by: GovDTF

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Review and finalize agenda
- based on feedback from MARS on specific items, may adjust the sessions and timings that follow

Digest feedback from MARS PTF (Tuesday morning) session on each of the following and determine next actions:

• Disposable SSID RFI Response to date
  • Expect to extend this; review potential for any future RFP
• LETS RFP and proposed IOTA response
  • Any potential for feedback from this PSIG 
  • NOT a submitters' meeting - feedback only if merited
• IOTA Tangle Protocol latest draft and specifications
• Smart Contracts RFI latest draft

Educational session on basic principles that make up a DLT protocol. This follows the Interoperability RFI finding of the need to define common semantics for DLTs. The session is a mix of explanation and discussion. The aim is to understand the concepts, formalize those concepts to a first approximation (semantics), and have the basis for a working vocabulary following the VCoI principles (Concept centric definitions with contextual words and terms definitions). 

Items we expect to cover: 

• Basics - ledgers, nodes, ecosystem features (oracles etc.)
• Layered protocol / architecture descriptions - latest outlines from IEEE, OMG and elsewhere
  • and possibly work to refine these, define the semantics of layers
• Cryptography - what are hashes, SHA-3, sponge, public key cryptography etc. all about and how are they used in different parts of DLT? (signing versus encrypting / decrypting etc.)
• Layer 2 protocols: smart contracts, messaging etc and how they fit in
• What about the money? Cryptocurrencies (with feedback from FDTF Digital Currency work

DIDO CLI update with Dr Nick Stavros

Following on from an understanding of the basic elements of DLT, how are these reflected in a Command Line Interface. Current status on this work and its applicability.

Define working sessions for Q2. 

Including but not limited to:

• Continuation of Smart Contracts RFI
• Next RFI(s) e.g. oracles, identity, what else?
• DLT Fundamentals, Concepts and Vocabulary
