A Virtual Global Monorepo of Immutable Linked Data
Pages 1000 - 1004
Abstract
The data layer of today's model management solutions often is either centralized or Git-based. We point out a number of limitations of current approaches, such as poor replicability, manually configured access control, centralization, hard-coded 'meta-data', and inflexible encodings. We argue for a set of fundamental features / restrictions (most importantly immutability and capability-based security) for decentralized model management systems to adapt, to solve these problems at their root. We distinguish a fundamental core from non-fundamental applications (such as versioning), that can be built on top.
