Mission and Goals
The ME-SIG MESIG will use decentralized, permissioned HL blockchains to discuss and build user-friendly apps that respond to the relative disorder of permissonless permissionless environments, where creators and artists’ interests are significantly harder to safeguard.
Following comparative analyses of the technical challenges (and hypothetical solutions) facing filmmakers, musicians, novelists, poets, photojournalists, etc., these DLT apps/dapps will be created for content-creators and their publishers, irrespective of location or socioeconomic status. This implies a focus upon UX/UI concerns over command-line tools, all in the name of access and inclusivity.
The desirability of/need for such goals was well expressed in July 2020 by Ashna Gupta: “Imagine this: a single platform where you can search for a song and uncover a record of every single player that has touched that song from inception to delivery. Every songwriter, producer, sound engineer, and everyone in between. Imagine a transparent revenue-sharing model that pays artists their fair share of royalties right away. Imagine a world of increased trustand accountability between artists and large media corporations.” The ME-SIG will aggregate and leverage the shared skills of HL members to make such hopes a reality.
Proposed Scope for a ME-SIG
The ME-SIGinclusivity for a MESIG
The MESIG will focus on the application of Hyperledger DLTs to media-specific and entertainment use cases. Such activity will automatically foreground topics such as decentralized metadata, digital distribution, copyright protection, royalty payments, value chains, NFTs (non-fungible tokens), tokenized content, counterfeit reduction, and registered digital ownership. By logical extension, these same themes will lead to real-world scenarios or solutions for cinematic, literary, audiovisual, and photographic publishers, to name but four.

—smart contracts
—and integration
Build user-friendly DLT ME applications on HL, focusing on user friendly UX-UI goals integrations over command-line tools alone, thus simplifying the workflow of HLF—for HL—for easier adoption by both artists and arts-related communitiescontent creators, developers, studios, distributors and all participants in the media & entertainment industry
Research different protocols—to build standardization across different parties and projectsinteroperability
Identify related reference architectures (business/integration or technical/infrastructure)
Work with businesses and non-profit or NGO communities alike
Share stories of civic success, failure, opportunity, and challenge
Encourage the equal involvement of both early adopters and student newcomers, looking to examine careers beyond the academic job market.
