Electronic Transferable Records: Implemented Using Transferable Verifiable Credentials

[rachelyager-nyc]

Session description

The presentation will share how Verifiable Credentials can be coupled with other decentralised technologies to implement the transferability feature of Electronic Transferable Records (ETRs). ETRs represent a digital evolution of traditional paper-based records, enabling instant, secure and easily verifiable electronic transactions. By leveraging transferable verifiable credentials, ETRs ensure the authenticity, integrity, and traceability of information throughout its lifecycle. Attendees will learn how TradeTrust (a freely available digital public good) uses these technologies to achieve trusted interoperability, with examples of use cases and the impact on various industries.

Session goal

We aim to achieve:

1. Awareness: To raise awareness among W3C members about the benefits of digitalising transferable instruments and applicability of ETRs;
2. Alignment: To share latest information on related discussions happening at other international forum as the global trade community marshals around a freely-available and neutral standardized framework for ETRs. This would help ensure interoperability across different systems and platforms, making it easier for organisations to advance to digital trade practices.;
3. Collaboration: To foster collaboration and discussions among industry experts and organizations, leading to collective efforts in spearheading innovation efforts.
4. Feedback: To gather feedback from the W3C community on the importance of the transferability feature to them.

Thank you for proposing a session!

You may update the session description as needed and at any time before the meeting, but please keep in mind that tooling relies on issue formatting: follow the instructions and leave all headings and other formatting intact in particular. Bots and W3C meeting organizers may also update the description, to fix formatting issues or add links and other relevant information. Please do not revert these changes. Feel free to use comments to raise questions.

Do not expect formal approval; W3C meeting organizers endeavor to schedule all proposed sessions that are in scope for a breakout. Actual scheduling should take place shortly before the meeting.
