<p>Hi Gareth,</p>
<p>The project finished a while back but I have to finalise the
report. We did manage to get a peer reviewed article out of the
project. Petter has a copy on his blog:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Blockchain_and_IoT_articles_accepted_into_Records_Management_Journal.html">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Blockchain_and_IoT_articles_accepted_into_Records_Management_Journal.html</a></p>
<p>I think the main gist of the work is in the article, but the
report will probably have a little more information about the
approach. <br>
</p>
<p>It did actually result in a change to nikita as well. We
introduced an event handler that responded to CRUD-events and
published metadata about these events to a single-instance
blockchain we developed called simplechain
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/simplechain">https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/simplechain</a>):</p>
<p> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://nikita.oslomet.no/simplechain-gui/">https://nikita.oslomet.no/simplechain-gui/</a></p>
<p>Unfortunately nothing is responding at that address at the moment
as the nikita server was recently upgraded and not all databases
were migrated. I'll see if I can fill it with some information and
drop a mail here.<br>
</p>
<p>Interestingly the result is that it may be possible to publish a
change-log from a database for authenticity purposes and Noark has
a number of properties that make it of particular interest for use
with blockchain. I think one of the main take-aways has to be that
if trusted timestamping solves your authenticity issue then use
that not blockchain. Feel free to post follow up questions or
come join us on IRC, we would be happy to discuss this in more
detail.<br>
</p>
