Its purpose is to manipulate the content of a DIDO (i.e., STORE) or to make queries about the content of the DIDO (i.e., SELECT) - [What is the DIDO Data Definition Language (DDDL)?](https://didosolutions.com/2021/05/12/dido-data-definition-language-dddl/): The DIDO Data Definition Language (DDDL) is similar in functionality of the Data Definition Language (DDL) found in Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). Its purpose is to define the objects stored within the DIDO including the types, objects, oracles, exchanges, and aggregates, and smart contracts.   DDDL Commands 2.4.1 DEFINE CONSTANT Command 2.4.2 CREATE TYPE Command 2.4.3 DEFINE OBJECT Command - [What is the DIDO Data Lifecycle Language (DDLL)](https://didosolutions.com/2021/05/12/dido-data-lifecycle-language-dll/): The DIDO Lifecyle Language (DDLL) is responsible for controlling the Lifecycle of the DIDO instances distributed across the Nodes in the DIDO Network. The DDLL does not cover the System Lifecycle which is responsible for the system conception, design and development, production and/or construction, distribution, operation, maintenance and support, retirement, phase-out and disposal. Although there is some overlap, the System Lifecycle covers also covers the development of the DIDO Platform while the DDLL only covers the deployment and execution of the DIDO software on the individual nodes. Although there is no requirement for a DIDO to be implemented as a Virtual […] - [What are the DIDO CLI Language Constructs?](https://didosolutions.com/2021/05/12/dido-cli-language-constructs/): Below is a list of language constructs that might be useful for DIDO CLI implementation. JSON dido:public:s_cli:05_contents:01_prt:03_langconst:basic_dido_objects:json: Args Links Traces Block Class Call Contract Event JSON Log Class TOKEN Trace Transaction Class Naming Conventions Reserved Words Operators Operations Basic Types Constants Memory and Storage Basic DIDO Objects - [Informative Background (DIDO CLI)](https://didosolutions.com/2021/05/12/background/): A Distributed Immutable Data Objects (DIDO), by definition, is a Distributed System comprised of a network and a collection of nodes particpating in a Peer to Peer (P2P) network. Each node within the DIDO operates asynchronously and independently from all the others nodes. The nodes communicate changes in the state of the distributed objects managed by each nde by publishing Transactions across the node network. See Figure 1. Notice that the DIDO is comprosed of different kinds of Nodes (See 2.3.3 Node Taxonomy). Figure 1: Overview of a DIDO Any one distributed Immutable DIstributed Data Objects can exists on any or […] - [Informative Introduction (DIDO CLI)](https://didosolutions.com/2021/05/12/introduction-cli/): The acronym DIDO stands for Distributed Immutable Data Object. It represents a class of concepts, activities and products that have become the trend Each word within the name is important Distributed – the class is distributed across many computers Immutable – the data it represents once written can not be changed (write once, read many times) Data – at the core of the class is always the Data Object – the data are encapsulated as objects with a uniform set of operations Why a New Term? Return to Top The widely used and generally accepted terms such as Blockchain and Distributed […] - [How to Assesses Functional and Non-Functional Requirements](https://didosolutions.com/2021/05/12/assessing-requirements/): An important part of having functional and non-functional requirements is access to a particular effort to determine if the effort complies with the requirements. The approach is slightly different between Functional and Non-Functional requirements. For Functional Requirements, it is important to think about what requirements need to be covered for a particular effort. For example, which Networks need to be supported? (Wired Network, Wireless Network. Bluetooth, ZigBee, Near-Field-Communication (NFC), etc). For Non-functional Requirements often have a large impact on the components that are selected as part of the infrastructure. For example, if a component is not Scalability, then it becomes product […] - [What are Non-Functional Requirements?](https://didosolutions.com/2021/05/12/non-functional-requirements/): Non-functional requirements are often incorrectly assumed rather than being explicitly defined by users. This can lead to problems towards the end of a project as the user expectations for non-functional requirements are not met. Many times, the developers dismiss non-functional requirements as non-testable and therefore not enforceable. This lack of specificity in non-functional requirements sets the stage for conflicts between the users, system architects, systems engineers, and developers. For example, users expect software to start and run every time it is used however, the non-functional requirement of reliability may never have been explicitly specified. Users expect new features to be added […] - [What are Functional Requirements?](https://didosolutions.com/2021/05/12/functional-requirements/): Functional Requirements define the basic system behavior. Essentially, they are requirements stating what the system does or must not do, and can be thought of in terms of how the system responds to inputs. Functional requirements usually define if/then behaviors and include calculations, data input, and business processes. Functional Requirements are features that allow the system to function as it was intended. Put another way, if the functional requirements are not met, the system will not work. Functional requirements are product features and focus on user requirements. Functional Requirements can be used during all phases of a project Lifecycle independent of […] - [What about the DIDO RA Requirements?](https://didosolutions.com/2021/05/12/about-requirements/): The term requirement first appeared in software engineering in the 1960s.1) The Business Analysis Body of Knowledge® version 2 from IIBA (BABOK),2) defines a requirement as having one or more of the following characteristics: A condition or capability needed by a stakeholder to solve a problem or achieve an objective. A condition or capability that must be met or possessed by a solution or solution component to satisfy a contract, standard, specification, or other formally imposed documents. A documented representation of a condition or capability as in (1) or (2).3) This definition is based on IEEE Standardized vocabulary.4) About Requirements Functional […] - [Governance Guides and Their Purpose](https://didosolutions.com/2021/05/12/guides/): In addition to the legal documents governing the activities of a community of interest (CoI), many CoIs create a simple, easily understood guide to help its members maneuver through and understand all the governing statements contained in the statutes, charter, bylaws, parliamentary authority, special rules, custom practices, and standing rules associated with that particular CoI. For example, the OMG publishes a “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the OMG Process”. Even though it is not a “normative” document (has no legal standing whatsoever, cannot be cited as a defense for not following process), it is much easier to read and understand than the OMG […] - [Why do I need Legal Documents for DIDO COIs?](https://didosolutions.com/2021/05/12/legal-documents/): Given the intentional distributed, decentralized nature of DIDOs, along with the potential for them to run on hardware and/or use software not owned or developed by a single entity, it is important to employ a community of interest (CoI) approach to develop, manage, and govern DIDO solutions. Such an approach allows for the establishment and specification of requirements for a formal organization that balance the various goals of its participants in pursuit of a single shared mission and, at the same time, protects the joint intellectual property (IP) resulting from their collaboration. Note: Legal Documents serve as the Regulatory Aspect within […] - [What are DIDO Communities of Interest (CoI)?](https://didosolutions.com/2021/05/12/dido-communities/): As introduced in Section 2.1, a DIDO community is a community of interest (CoI) responsible for the architecture, design, implementation, maintenance, and eventual sunset (yes, all good things come to an end) of DIDO networks and its DIDO nodes. DIDO communities should have a well-documented, repeatable, traceable, transparent, and unbiased process that is managed and run by a governing board (or hierarchy of governing boards). Often the DIDO community is divided into two organizations: one responsible for the software, usually as an open source software (OSS) project, and the other responsible for managing the fungible data (e.g., currency or commodity) managed […] - [Why Governance Matters!](https://didosolutions.com/2021/05/12/governance/): For practical reasons, the acronym Distributed Immutable Data Object (DIDO) represents a set of distributed computing technologies that focus on distributed data (i.e., blockchains, distributed ledgers, distributed file systems or distributed data). A major problem confronting the adoption of DIDO technologies is that it requires shifting away from corporate models of governance to an open community model of development, especially for industry or public ecosystems (e.g., financial, supply chains, public records) and domains (e.g., interest swaps, produce supply chain, cryptocurrencies, carbon credits, air pollution, traffic conditions). In the corporate model of governance, a single entity is responsible for the costs and […] - [DIDO RA has 4 different types of taxonomy?](https://didosolutions.com/2021/05/12/taxonomic-views/): A taxonomy is a way of organizing things into useful and convenient classes. Each class can then be treated as an abstraction of the individual elements. For example, Dog is a class of Animal. Once an individual entity is classified as a Dog, generalizations can be made about what to expect from the individual entity. There can be many taxonomies that classify entities. For example, one taxonomic classification places an individual in the animal kingdom; however, another taxonomy classifies an individual according to their state of employment (working, retired, etc.). Each is valid; the only difference is perspective. The DIDO RA […] - [What are the Technical Views of the DIDO RA?](https://didosolutions.com/2021/05/12/technical-views/): Technical Views are intended to define at a high level the various components of larger DIDO systems. They outline generic parts, subparts, and interconnections of those parts and subparts for a DIDO system. For each part or subpart, a list of potential standards, best practices, and tools is provided. There are multiple views, subdivided into two main areas: Fundamental Views Node Network View - [What are the Stakeholder Views?](https://didosolutions.com/2021/05/12/what-are-the-stakeholder-views/): Within this context, the following definition of Stakeholder is used: A stakeholder is a person, group or organization that has interest or concern in a [target] organization. Stakeholders can affect or be affected by the [target] organization’s actions, objectives and policies. http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/stakeholder.html Note: [target] added for clarification purposes In a centralized or decentralized topography, this definition is adequate; however, in a distributed topography the understanding of what the [target] organization is becomes important. In a DIDO, this is by design and intent. There is no centralized authority or centralized cluster for the data, the processing of which is considered a major […] - [What's the Purpose/Point of the DIDO RA?](https://didosolutions.com/2021/05/12/whats-the-problem/): The goals of a Reference Architecture (RA) as expressed in this paper are derived from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration (OASD/NII)1) , which are: Provide a common language for the various stakeholders Provide consistent implementation of technology to solve problems Support validation and comparison of implementations Encourage adherence to common standards, specifications, and patterns Achieving these goals will enhance the likelihood that DIDOs and networks will be engineered correctly.
