Mission and Goals
The MESIG will use decentralized, permissioned HL blockchains to build user-friendly apps that respond to the relative disorder of permissonless environments, where 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 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.
As with other Special Interest Groups, the Media& Entertainment group has sub-groups.
The MESIG and its subgroups will:
Collaborate with other core Hyperledger working groups and project in the areas of architecture
—performance and scalability identity
—smart contracts
—and integration
Build user-friendly DLT ME applications on HL, focusing on user friendly UX-UI integrations over command-line tools alone, thus simplifying the workflow of HL—for easier adoption by both content creators, developers, studios, distributors and all participants in the media & entertainment industry
Research different protocols—to build standardization and interoperability
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.
