ZIG/ZAG: UNB - European Commission [EC] - "Blockchain for Social Good [BSG]" Challenge Notice of Meeting B1 Agenda: Tue 19 Feb 2019 REF:UNBACb1a T 19 Feb 2019 Notice Mtg B1 T 26 Feb 2019 EC "Blockchains for Social Good [BSG]" H2020 Challenge - Finalise project issues for H2020 submissions Hi everyone This is the On-line link to the draft minutes Mtg A8 T 12 Feb 2019 of the EC-BSG H2020 Objectives of meeting Tue 26 Feb 2019: A 17:30-18:05 - CONFIRM 1ST QUANTUM 09.00-09:45 ON-LINE TRAINING PROGRAM A major part of the EC-BSG project will be to assist potential Project Partners to understand the key project issues hence the EC-BSG Committee is preparing an "On-line Introduction to understanding eCommerce, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency issues" The 1st Quantum covers the following topics: a Coding Processes b Relational Databases c On-line Forms d Smart Forms a CODING PROCESSES Description of Coding Processes "For consistent data, it is important for everyone to follow the same coding rules and conventions when assigning codes. Adherence to applicable coding guidelines, conventions, and instructions is absolutely necessary. The importance of accurate, complete, and consistent coded data continues to increase." Examples of Coding Processes are: a The Hindu-Arabic numerals set of 10 symbols - 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 were introduced to Europe around the 12th Century to replace Roman Numerals which did not have 0 (zero) b The Alphabet A-Z - the Standard for reading and writing in English. It appears that English had existed for many hundreds of years before the arrival of the printing press in the mid-15th Century by William CAXTON led to English becoming Standardised c Flag Semaphore - Semaphores were adopted and widely used (with hand-held flags replacing the mechanical arms of shutter semaphores) in the maritime world in the 19th century. Flag Semaphore has flag position representation for all 26 letters of the English Alphabet and 10 numbers 0-9 d Morse Code - apparently Alfred VAIL (1807-1959) was the true inventor of Morse Code using dots and dashes (a dash is 3 times the length of a dot) as standard for the Telegraphic communication system invented in 1844 and implemented by Samuel MORSE (1791-1872) Morse Code has a code for all 26 letters of the English Alphabet, 10 numbers 0-9 and 23 other codes for punctuation and message codes for a total of 88 different Morse code sequences e QWERTY Typewriter keyboard. The QWERTY Typewriter keyboard was invented in 1868 by Christopher SHOLES, the inventor of the Typewriter and had 40 characters in 4 rows of 10 characters f ASCII [American Standard Code for Information Interchange]- The ASCII Character set for Computers was developed from the Telegraph Code and the first edition of the standard was published in 1963 with 128 characters [27] in the 7-bit set of an 8-bit byte The ASCII Character set is now.256 Characters [28] and uses the full 8-bit byte to include all language characters The key to every coding process is that the process has an agreed coding structure However what has happened recently with the Communications and Information Technology [CIT] Industries is that agreed standards have been corrupted by large organisations like IBM that have a vested interest in ensuring that CIT industry standards are not consistent Examples of this include the International 1987 UN/EDIFACT [Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce and Trade] Standard ISO 9375 and the 2006 Australian "Name and Address" Standard AS4590 which the Public thought had a standard Name and Address format until it was discovered in 2006 that the CIT developers had included both a simple and complex address format in the same standard ref OASIS XML Conference Sydney Oct 2006 THIS MEANT THAT EVERY ELECTRONIC MESSAGE HAD TO BE CHECKED TO SEE WHETHER THE "SIMPLE" ADDRESS OR THE "COMPLEX" ADDRESS FORMAT HAD BEEN USED BY THE COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS IN DEVELOPING THE SOFTWARE THUS ADDING CONSIDERABLE COST AND DELAY IN ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS g Australian eHealth Standards In 2004 Australia entered into the Aus-USA Free Trade Agreement which included "Chapter 16: Electronic Commerce" "In Jul 2005 the National Electronic Health Transition Authority (NEHTA) was established in July 2005 as a collaborative enterprise by the Australian Commonwealth, State and Territory governments [COAG] to identify and develop the necessary foundations for electronic health (eHealth)" IN 2006 COAG published a "Management Framework" which include a section on Compliance with Standards and identified with 16 Standards Australia Health Informatics Committees and 9 ISO Health Informatics Committees In 2008 the NEHTA CIT Advisory Committee which comprised mainly international Communications and Information Technology Consultants published a list of 8 acceptable "candidate" software standards for eHealth Applications including UN/EDIFACT This published list was for software houses to decide which "candidate" standard to adopt for developing eHealth Applications The other "candidate" standards are proprietary standards many owned by overseas organisations and cause considerable cost and delay for computer departments in eHealth to check and convert the information into the "candidate" standard that the eHealth department uses via eHubs On 01 Jul 2016 NEHTA as a "Transition" authority was disbanded and replaced by the Australian Digital Health Agency [ADHA] b RELATIONAL DATABASES The Relational Database model organises data into one or more tables (or relations) of columns and rows Rows are also called records or tuples Columns are also called attributes. Generally, each table/relation represents one "entity type" (such as customer or product). The rows represent instances of that type of entity (such as "Lee" or "chair") and the columns representing values attributed to that instance (such as address or price). c ON-LINE FORMS On-line forms allow the information required to be selected from a pre-defined drop down menu and greatly reduce the need for any free typing The answer selected can then go straight into a relational database and information answer can An example of the effectiveness of On-line forms was commissioned by the Australian Federal Government Department of Employment, Workplace Relations and Small Business [DEWRSB] in 2001 with 153 NSW Local Government Agencies Using the RUBAC EII Methodology to design the 3 On-line questionnaires and coding the responses for the database enabled the OIC Project Team to gather the information required from 153 Councils electronically within 3-months so that DEWRSB paid the contract in full !! The On-line forms and responses can be reviewed here All Airline, Cruse ship and Tourism sites booking sites use On-line forms where the information is entered straight into a database so that bookings and places can be confirmed straight away d SMART FORMS "In 2008, the use of "SmartForms" was named a best practice initiative by the Australian Government Information Management Office in the Review of the Australian Government's Use of ICT".[ Promoted benefits 1 Lower cost of processing submitted forms 2 Fewer data entry errors 3 Lower postage and mail handling costs 4 Enables the use of digital signatures for non-repudiation 5 SmartForms can be saved offline 6 Files can be attached to the form 7 Submitted forms can be easily integrated with back office systems using XML data Use in government The Federal Australian Department of Industry, Innovation and Science coordinates "SmartForms" initiatives across Australian government agencies.Departments currently using "SmartForms" include NSW Local Government Agencies, Victorian State Government,NT State Government and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, The Australian Department of Finance and Deregulation is promoting a Whole of Government "SmartForms" solution under a $42M Australian Government Online Service Point program. This SmartForm solution is based on Avoka Transact. Technologies There are a number technologies that can deliver "SmartForm" benefits with varying levels of capability. These include: 1 Avoka Transact Avoka Transact replace paper and PDF submissions with a highly tailored digital process for both agencies and citizens, and includes data capture, signatures, and identity validation. Avoka Transact allows department staff to create mobile responsive applications which adapt to the size of a phone, tablet or PC without creating separate versions for each, and Australian Citizens can complete government transactions from mobile and desktop at home. [In 2002 Avoka Transact was founded in Manly NSW Australia by Phil COPELAND and Howard TREISMAN On 12 Dec 2018 Avoka was acquired by the US based Banking software company TEMENOS For AU$ 339 Million] 2 FormHero FormHero is a paperwork automation platform used to turn internal paper-based processes into online smart forms that automatically find and fill in existing paperwork. 3 Intelledox Infiniti Intelledox Infiniti is a business process digitalisation platform that combines the power of of intelligent document generation, adaptive interviews (SmartForms), and line-of- business integration Infiniti leverages existing investments in document management and information assets to deliver Adaptive Engagement and On Demand Communication solutions that help organisations digitally transform manual business processes into intuitive, guided, user experiences based on the customer's personal preferences, device, and location 4 XFA Forms XFA refers to Adobe XFA Forms platform which can be used to render PDF, Adobe-Flex or HTML based forms 5 XForms Xforms refers to a W3c XML Forms architecture. Solutions implementing XForms include IBM Lotus Forms, Open Data Kit (ODK) and Group Complete (ODK compatible). 6 InfoPath FormsV InfoPath refers to Microsoft Office InfoPath XML form technology.
