==DOCUMENT SIGNING AND STORAGE USING DATA MODELS AND DISTRIBUTED LEDGERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18055673 titled 'DOCUMENT SIGNING AND STORAGE USING DATA MODELS AND DISTRIBUTED LEDGERS

==Simplified Explanation==

The method described in the abstract involves populating a template database with templates identified by template IDs, generating a data model that references a template within the database, and deploying the data model within a distributed ledger.

* The method involves populating a template database with templates associated with template IDs.
* The data model includes a template ID referencing the template in the database, a template parameter to apply to the parameter field, and a digital signature for at least the template ID and the template parameter.
* The method deploys the data model within a distributed ledger.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in fields such as digital contracts, supply chain management, and secure document management.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology helps in securely storing and referencing templates within a distributed ledger, ensuring data integrity and authenticity.

== Benefits ==
The use of digital signatures enhances security and trust in the template data stored within the distributed ledger. It also streamlines the process of template referencing and application.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Potential commercial applications include blockchain-based contract management systems, secure document sharing platforms, and digital identity verification services.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of digital signatures in blockchain technology for data authentication and verification.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does this technology compare to traditional template management systems? ===
This technology offers enhanced security and transparency through the use of digital signatures and distributed ledger technology, but how does it compare in terms of scalability and usability?

=== What are the potential regulatory implications of deploying this technology in industries like finance or healthcare? ===
While the technology offers secure template management, there may be regulatory challenges in industries with strict data privacy and security requirements.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method includes populating a template database with templates associated with template identifiers (IDs) identifying the templates. The method also includes generating a data model that references a template within the template database, where the data model includes a template ID referencing the template in the template database, and where the template includes a parameter field. The data model further includes a template parameter to apply to the parameter field and a digital signature for at least the template ID and the template parameter. The method also includes deploying the data model within a distributed ledger.
