Proposal(s) title:

Bridging ISO/TC307 Standards on Smart Contract Classification, Taxonomy and Ontology

Blockchain area:

Automation

Process optimisation

Token and asset creation and exchange

Relevance area:

Smart contracts as trusted technology

Impact:

From the standardisation point of view, this contribution is a first step to finalise and update two ISO/TC307 standards, thus bringing perfectly harmonised standards in a second step. These standards will address the gap between worldwide Blockchain / DLT standards in the fields of smart contract classification and European specificities (in particular the European regulation e.g. MiCA, Data Act, DSM, Copyright).
The European experts contribution to ISO standards gives European SMEs a competitive advantage, through the first knowledge and quality of standard, thus reinforcing the European footprint and sovereignty on blockchain standardisation effort.
 

The European experts' contribution to the European ICT Rolling Plan and European standards benefits all European citizens.

In particular, this contribution highlighted the need of standardisation of the classification of smart contracts at ISO/TC307/WG3 as well as the classification of assets, including physical assets (e.g. physical products in relation with the EU Digital Product Passport) and digital assets at ISO/TC307/WG8, that should be reflected in ISO/TS 23258 standard at ISO/TC307/WG1.

This illustrates the link between ISO standardisation and the European regulations (i.e. DPP).


Bio

Engineer, graduated from Telecom Paris, Jérôme Pons started his career in 2001 at Orange, successively as 3GPP Standardisation Manager, Orange Media Player Project Manager (Music Podcasts, Musique Max, and Musique Hits), WebTV Marketing Project Manager (OCS) and then InterOperability Testing Programme Manager. Entrepreneur, he founded Music won’t stop in 2011, a live music production business that diversified in 2013 by developing a consulting activity focused on digital technology and strategy. Specialist of the stakes related to the digital transformation of culture activity sectors (culture funding, value sharing, metadata-based rights management, intellectual property protection), he developed a key expertise in data modelling and management by designing a Digital Content Data Model (DiCoDaMo), common to 9 culture activity sectors, and some Digital Content Data Management Tools (DiCoDaMaTo). Specialist of Blockchain & Distributed Ledger Technologies, natively integrated to DiCoDaMo data model, he devoted himself to blockchain standardisation since 2016 and drives the “architecture and modelling” working group at Afnor and contributes to several study groups and working groups within ISO/TC 307 (“terminology”, “reference architecture, taxonomy and ontology”, “use cases”, “smart contracts”, “governance” and “interoperability”).Since 2018, he develops consulting and vocational training activities at Music won’t stop, focused on blockchain-based service development within cul
