IPFS and Blockchain Based Archival System for Open Academic Data

IPFS and Blockchain Based Archival System for Open Academic Data

Open academic data such as course syllabi and degree programs 
are very valuable and need to be preserved in time stamped 
fashion. InterPlanery File System (IPFS) can be used for distributed
storage of files. Ethereum blokchain based smart contracts can be 
used to keep time stamped records of academic data  and provide 
mechanisms for citing such data. A system that consists of  (i) a crawler 
for  academic data (ii)  file archiver on IPFS  (iii) smart contracts for keeping 
file records and citations and (iv)  web interface for searching and displaying info 
about archived data.  The system will be demonstrated by archiving  
academic data from  universities in Turkey.
