- Designing a Taxonomy of Decentralised Identifier / Identity Terms for ISO/TC307
Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies
As European SMEs are subject to stronger regulation (e.g. eIDAS, GDPR, Copyright), harmonising terminologies, taxonomies and architectures in worldwide standards is key to avoid their fragmentation between international (e.g. ISO, W3C), European (e.g. CEN-CENELEC) and national standards (e.g. UNE, AFNOR). Harmonising decentralised identifier and identity terminologies and taxonomies is key at ISO/TC307 and CEN-CENELEC/JTC19 before they are derived in European regulation (initially eIDAS2) and infrastructures (e.g. EBSI). All European SMEs will take advantage of such harmonisation.

This contribution addresses the revision of ISO/TS 23258 (Blockchain & Distributed Ledger Technologies - Taxonomy & Ontology) that was first released in 2021. I am the project leader of ISO/TS 23258 at ISO/TC307/WG1.
Value of Research
The objective of this contribution was to design a taxonomy of decentralised identifier and identity terms for further integration into ISO/TC307 works developed by AHG5 and JWG4.
My fellowship was key to address the gap between worldwide blockchain and DLT standards in the fields of identifier and identity management, especially between ISO/TC307, ITU-T and W3C while including some European-led reference documents (i.e. EBSI, eSSIF-Lab and INATBA glossaries).
