This public directory holds minimal public identification data about entities. Data contained in this directory can then be used to identify entities that participate in certain contexts like collaborative project accross independent public/private institutions.
At a higher level, updates of this directory is subject to approval by a committee that includes the different organizations that have to reach a consensus to make any changes. This contract is thus a pillar on top of which trust can be built where participants acknowledge the committee to make changes and take these as valid.
- Among others, key data like Decentralized indentifiers DIDs are stored for every entity.
- One entity can have multiple DIDs.
- Every entity is assigned a unique identifier autogenerated by the contract when a member is added; so this can be used between the different Dids and the public entity data. This allows any participant to know a transparent history about the different states an entity registered in the public directory has gone through since it was registered.
