Description World Economic Forum (WEF) approached the RHUL team for this expert advice related to the Open Governance work. The RHUL team is working towards providing consumer control and building tools that enable them audit/check both the public and private sector organisations. WEF is currently undertaking a project in designing a secure, reliable and open government tendering scheme on blockchains. They want to design a system that provides transparency to the tendering framework and enabling an open/fair auditing mechanism on the blockchain. RHUL has already proposed such a mechanism, which is going to form the backbone of the WEF project. Beside the RHUL team is activity engaged with the WEF team in their design and development of the open, transparent and fair tendering scheme.

Title Entity-Centric Provenance 
Description Mongo open source distribution was modified to support the unique way of collecting provenance about actions performed on data stored in the database. The unique process of provenance is termed as Entity-Centric Provenance and it increases the traceability and searchability of activities performed on a dataset. 
Type Of Technology New/Improved Technique/Technology 
Year Produced 2018 
Impact a) Increased tracking of activities performed on a dataset b) Capturing full evolution of data in the database c) Faster search of activity records
