Ontology of Education Using Blockchain: Time Based Protocol

Abstract

Education is a business process that has been a pillar of government for centuries in building the nation. The method of organizing knowledge globally does not change according to the times. Various problems currently faced by education service providers, especially at the tertiary level, in this case, call it the problem of authentication and certificate verification, which are the micro and macro outputs of a learning process. People are getting lighthouses about blockchain, the solution to educational polemic problems. The combination of science between education and blockchain technology will create a new revolution in the education industry that is felt to be stagnant and incompatible with current developments. There are various kinds of insights from this solution. Still, it is not enough to explain the ontology of education using blockchain, which, as a whole, discusses the existence of blockchain for education based on scientific studies. Ontology for knowledge will be useful as a literature platform for young researchers, especially in universities, to start basic and applied research that leads to blockchain in education. Besides, blockchain technology has weaknesses and inefficiencies, namely in terms of cost, storage space, and speed. Solutions will be proposed through this research regarding on-chain and off-chain protocols in Time Based Protocol (TBP), which is part of Blockchain technology. As a result, this research can also become the foundation for new platforms and frameworks as a solution for the government in launching blockchain-based education, which is a pioneer in creating a blockchain-based government.
