Future challenges
It would be interesting to add the possibility for users to file in a structured form, and to store that structured data on the blockchain, either completely or trough a signature. This would make it easier for inspector to verify past or current data, and would facilitate the transition from paper. This would require to create a schema for each document to enforce standardisation, which isn't possible currently as EPC+ is not finished yet.
This would make it possible to automatically unlock subsidies trough the blockchain, by having a smart contract check what the form contains and if necessary allocate subsidies.
Currently, only the owner can add files, that are afterward validated by the inspector. It would be a quality of life upgrade to give the possibility to inverse the flow, have inspectors to add documents themselves, and have the owners verify them.
What would also be interesting is to have the government itself add the files they currently have on paper, or somewhere on their servers to the blockchain, ensuring that their traces cannot be lost.
Currently, we are using a simple mongodb database mapping ethereum accounts to emails. While it server our purpose for now, there are multiple way to link a real person to an ethereum account that are currently being developed. As the development of those tools is far from being finished, we didn't explore their integration.
Some files, like for exemple mobility certificates could be made public, as their values reside on being used by other people. It would be interesting to see what is possible to make public.
