Abstract
Decentralizing Latin American library infrastructure: Testing and pilot implementation of a decentralized library lending system based on credentials of sovereign and interchangeable users built with Blockchain technology
In this paper we will describe the results of the tests and pilot implementation of a decentralized loan system based on universal, sovereign, and interchangeable user credentials built with blockchain technology [4], this new mechanism has the potential for integration through interchangeability agreements with all types of library management systems (ILS) independent of its distribution name, whether it be commercial software, open-source technologies, or custom-developed systems. It could also be adopted in local, national, or international contexts, whether it be in university library networks, public libraries, or specialized information units. Also, due to the intrinsic nature of blockchain technology, this mechanism will create the technical and conceptual basis for the development of a universal digital self-sovereign library identity, accommodating new lending mechanisms and decentralized information services with the potential to operate in contexts of international or even continental agreements. The concept test and pilot implementation were carried out in a testing environment provided by the Directorate of Information Services and Libraries of the University of Chile (SISIB) with the coordination and support of its team of professionals.Descentralizando la infraestructura bibliotecaria de Latinoamérica: Pruebas e implementación piloto de un sistema de préstamo descentralizado de bibliotecas basado en credenciales de usuarios soberanas e interoperables construida con tecnología Blockchain
En este trabajo describiremos los resultados de las pruebas e implementación piloto de un sistema de préstamos descentralizados basado en credenciales de usuarios universales, soberanas e interoperables construida con tecnología Blockchain [4], este nuevo mecanismo posee el potencial de integración mediante acuerdos de interoperabilidad con todo tipo de sistema de gestión bibliotecaria (ILS) independiente de su denominación de distribución, ya sea software comercial, tecnologías open source o sistemas desarrollados a la medida, así mismo podría ser adoptado en contextos locales, nacionales o internacionales, ya sea en redes de bibliotecas universitarias, bibliotecas públicas o unidades de información especializadas también y debido al carácter intrínseco de la tecnología Blockchain este mecanismo creará las bases técnicas y conceptuales para el desarrollo de una identidad digital universal auto-soberana de biblioteca dando cabida a nuevos mecanismos de préstamos y servicios de información descentralizados con potencial de operar en contextos de acuerdos inter-países o incluso Latinoamericano. Las pruebas e implementación piloto fueron realizadas en un ambiente de pruebas provisto por la Dirección de Servicios de Información y Bibliotecas de la Universidad de Chile (SISIB) con la coordinación y apoyo de su equipo de profesionales.Item Type: | Conference or Workshop Item (Paper) | |||||||||
