MCatalog/Product description

To better serve Indonesia's goods procurement activities, the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime and Investments Affairs and LKPP spearheaded a pilot project to publish government approved product catalog data content online using Web3 technologies. The main feature of this Web3-base data service is to technically guarantee that data updating activities are transparent and non-corruptible. Knowing that both data content and relevant governing processes must evolve over time, therefore, in stead of just to a static software application that publishes electronic catalog data, it is necessary to create a meta Catalog(mCatalog), that can dynamically reflect the intricate dependency relations amongst evolving data content, changing policies written in natural languages, and evolving source code that involves many stakeholders of different levels of accountability. To integrate this many interacting parties, a new kind of knowledge management infrastructure, such as Project Knowledge Container(PKC), must be operated along side of this seemingly straight forward catalog data serving project. PKC as a data content and source code management platform, may serve as a single source of truth(SSOT), along with certain Web3 features in blockchain and Smart Contracts may be combined to guarantee data and policy transparency of the data service product: mCatalog.
