UK recommendations for distributed ledger technology

It is vital that our key assets – including the Alan Turing Institute, Open
Data Institute and the Digital Catapult – work together with the private
sector and with
international partners to unlock the full potential of this technology.

For government applications, ‘permissioned’ ledgers are likely to be more
appealing than Bitcoin’s unpermissioned model, because they allow the
owner, or owners, of the
data to enforce rules on who is and is not allowed to use the system.

An interesting read.  I believe Solid [1] should be able to handle the
vision that this document has in mind, combined with some of the technology
incubated here.
