This document discusses business networks and the Corda distributed ledger. It defines key concepts like peer-to-peer networks, Corda nodes, and business networks. A business network allows independent parties to transact together and requires governance, operations, membership management, and software distribution. The document introduces B3i and its role in operating a business network on the Corda Network to represent member interests to the Corda Foundation.
