Webinar: Core public utility technologies for a “Next Generation” Internet
Thursday, September 10th
@ 9am US PT / 6pm CET
The development of a new Dynamic Data Economy (DDE) requires a user-centric, privacy-compliant and secure Internet. The roadmap to enhance core public utility technologies to meet that challenge requires both technological advancement and new thinking in governance. This seminar will provide the audience with a brief overview of the current status of both technology and governance within the context of a decentralised network and an insight into the advanced concepts and architectures in the development pipeline.
Paul Knowles, Head of the Advisory Council at The Human Colossus Foundation, explains the duality of entry and capture characteristics in a decentralised network from an “Inputs” (data entry) versus “Semantic” (data capture) perspective. This is followed by a presentation from Drummond Reed, Chief Trust Officer at Evernym, who explains how SSI, a new form of digital identity, can enable individual identity holders to fully create and control their credentials, without being forced to request the permission of an intermediary or centralised authority, and how the Trust over IP dual-stack model of “Governance” and “Technology” is designed to underpin an entire layer of Internet-scale digital trust infrastructure.
[9.05am US PT / 6.05pm CET]
(i.) Characteristics of a decentralised network: Inputs vs. Semantic (P. Knowles)
- [10 minutes]
(ii.) The Trust over IP Stack: Governance vs. Technology (D. Reed)
- [40 minutes incl. Q&A]
[10 minute break]
PART 2: Inputs domain
Sam Smith, Founder of ProSapien LLC, explains how KERI (Key Event Receipt Infrastructure) is set to become a breakthrough solution for authenticable data entry and brings with it the promise of a unified DID method for all signed inputs in a digital network.

PART 3: Semantic domain
[11.05am US PT / 8.05pm CET]
Paul Knowles, Head of the Advisory Council at The Human Colossus Foundation, explains how OCA (Overlays Capture Architecture) is set to become a breakthrough solution for immutable data capture and brings with it the promise of unifying a data language through semantic harmonisation across a digital network. This is followed by a live demo from Robert Mitwicki, Head of Human Colossus’ Technology Council, on how interoperable schema and verifiable (authenticable) credentials can be utilised to empower individuals by improving their right to self-determination regarding their personal data.
