Blockchain-driven service delivery algorithms

“

The growing number of professional software engineers and developers begin to pay special attention to the promise of blockchain to advance data management in various e-government ecosystems, creating a benevolent playground to brainstorm new peer-to-peer blockchain-driven solutions in public sector reforms. In this connection, the article presents the perspectives of various software developers and experts in the area in regard to the potential realization of lifetime blockchain-driven digital solutions and promotion of more effective and sustainable data management ecosystems in e-government. Such potential solutions could facilitate further debates on understanding and reconsidering the public value of blockchain-driven data governance practices, especially in regard to new decentralized lifetime public service delivery models. The aggregation of insights and views on detailed algorithms for these models from professionals in the area are important, especially from those who are directly engaged in developing related blockchain-driven platforms in both public and private sectors of the economy. These perspectives are often left beyond the radar of academic inquiries in related research. In this connection, the article sheds light on solutions which could be useful for e-government stakeholders to harness the promise of blockchain to develop more effective public service delivery mechanisms in the area. These solutions promise to be more decentralized and distributed by nature. As such this article presents the results of an empirical study about the perspectives of professional blockchain developers as well as e-government regulation and open data experts on the topic, analyzing and conceptualizing their opinions in a more holistic manner about the opportunity of blockchain technology to transform a traditional centralized public service delivery model and solve various challenges associated with it. By utilizing a more decentralized approach in the management of public data, the paper offered a tentative model for the further discussion and research in academic communities about the potential to create a lifelong solution for a blockchain-driven e-government data management ecosystem, which could be enhanced by inter-ledger networking, cross-referencing and cross-verification among both legal and physical entities and their digital data profiles. Finally, the article also elaborated on how the proposed decentralized public service delivery could benefit both society and governance in a practical sense and what potential socioeconomic and technological challenges e-government developers and practitioners could face along the way, providing a set of recommendations on how to overcome them in a detailed and illustrative manner.
