National blockchain deployment and eGovernment narratives

The last Government Blockchain Association Tokyo Chapter Meetups, I have presented with summary of eGovernment history and blockchain deployment, which is key notable areas from worldwide initiative includes United Nations, the point of SDGs and social activities.

eGovernment origin was coming from Internet penetration around the early 1990s - 2000s, deploy internal communication between public citizens and governances. As Tim O’Reilly mentioned, government is asked to raise their answer against retain old system or modernized process as if it were platform for procurement.

World wide web altered traditional model and generate communication between followers and decision maker. Rationally, it replaces the government role at fragmented statement, event it further from public demand, persistent to carry out in some ever decades. Meanwhile, the Internet has been penetrating and affect among users, change the reaction with information acquiring and sharing, people has accustomed to make it use under unknown controller, but it has few traditional governance step.

The early 1990s, couple of nations had started out fundamental issuance of eGovernment and accelerate digital exploration. South Korea embarked as spearhead of network act, and influences one after another to developed countries in force to contemplate the solution toward digital-driven methodology.

Japanese government was also early explore to take on digital government action, which was called, “the Master Plan for Promoting Government-wide use of IT”, leading to correspond with future digital economy.

Universally, government act is necessary in order to fulfill societies and drives the impact with economical advancement. From the eGovernment contexts, plenty of case studies are stored on the Internet and it is referable to put technical verification into indigenous status instead all from scratch.

While the presentation went for the audiences, GDS and Singapore government support was quoted to illustrate the importance of widely concerned among public charities and volunteerism.

Estonian data embassy concepts showed off geological advantage and disadvantage respectively, not only the implication of digitalized governance, but also it has vulnerable risk when it comes to be attacked by surrounding countries.

Blockchain is being on the table as alternative weapon against the hacker sneaking, robust data management and infrastructure, however, it needs to improve technology even those in the progress, government expects future integration on the way to store value itself.

At the blockchain demonstration part, Zug e-voting attempt was described as one of the earliest decentralized technology integration between traditional system. The smaller number subject almost 72 has been answered, anyway which is the growing phase from the point of election system.

Finally, presentation indicated the problematic data and environment at Japanese digital transformation surrounding, in particular, interoperability and extremely low attention rate of public digital search toward government information.

Even though, Japanese government was one of the forerunner and wealthy environment to connect Internet access, but local people is not aware of the way to access information and feel it doesn’t cherish to collect public information through Internet. Blockchain is suddenly getting involvement with public inducement these days. However, once we break down components to implement technology inside actual governance, it has a lot of issues, and differ from country levels. We have to take consideration into cultural and economical history and background in order to define rule to operate system properly.
