This document discusses blockchain technology and its potential applications in government. It describes how some governments have started implementing blockchain solutions, such as Estonia creating a national identity management system on the blockchain to reduce bureaucracy. The document also lists potential use cases for blockchain in government like national identity management, tax collection, and voting. Finally, it suggests Dubai could save $1.5 billion per year by moving government transactions to the blockchain.

Contract Definition
Language
Contract Description
Language (CDL) is a new
language designed for
expressing contracts, terms
and conditions, and even
laws in machine-
understandable way so that
automated tools can be
used to work with them
more efficiently. Its roots lie
in declarative rules based
logic programming.
Automation for
Formation of
Contracts
Validity Check - Is there a
conflict between laws
and/or contract terms?
Utility - What is the value
(or score) of laws and/or
contract terms according
to particular preferences
or criteria?
Automation for
Analysis of Contracts
Hypothetical Analysis -
What are the implications
of laws and/or contract
terms in a particular
situation?
Consistency Check- Is a
set of contracts consistent,
i.e. contradiction free?
Automation for
Implementation of
Contracts
Planning - What actions
can/should be done in a
particular situation for
achieving a particular
goal.
Execution - Ultimately,
automated triggering of
actions

Use Cases in Governement
@MartaGhiglioni

11. The Gibraltar Financial Services
Commission issued a ruling
granting licenses which allow
Blockchains to be used as
conduits for the storage and
transfer of digital assets.
This license is essentially the same
sort of license that banks have.

12. Illinois launched a pilot for a
blockchain based system for birth
registry and identification system.
The project aims to improve the
security of identities.

13. Estonia in 2012 started implementing Blockchain solutions for
country’s registry database across several sectors such as
security, legislative, health, and the judiciary.
In Estonia was implemented a blockchain-based national identity
management system called “ID-kaarts”.
This has been able to reduce bureaucratic red-tape and improve
the timeliness and quality of government service delivery to
Estonian citizens.

14. By making the move to a
paperless transaction system that
is hosted entirely on the
blockchain, the Dubai government
could potentially save up to $1.5
billion per year.
