The ChaordicLedger is the implementation of a design for a combination of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and a Distributed File System (DFS) to create a secure, enterprise-grade platform for storing interlinked project artifacts.
The development of this platform is in pursuit of the author's PhD research objectives.
The goal of this codebase is to establish a TRL Level 4 Proof of Concept (PoC) of integrating the distributed nature of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) with the permissioned, private nature of Hyperledger Fabric via industry-relevant smart contracts to achieve a macro-to-micro-scale view of large integrated systems in support of Systems Engineering, Configuration Management, Software Engineering, and Cost Account Management.

- The platform shall be portable.
- All deployment-specific attributes shall be specifiable at deployment time (e.g. from a pipeline)
- Test automation shall be implemented early and where practical.
- Free and Open-Source technologies shall be leveraged.
- Behavior and results are measurable and equatable.

- Diagnose/correct Java-based chaincode connectivity issues (may be due to proxy on corporate network or TLS configuration).
- Enable communication of multiple nodes across disparate networks.
- Enable role-based authorization.
- Enable TLS for chaincode.
- Enable use of specified Certificate Authority.
- Add API method for drill-down requests.
- Add served rendering of relationship graphs. Possible starting point https://github.com/wangkuiyi/graphviz-server
- Increase the TRL by executing the platform on edge-style hardware devices by way of third-party users.
- Refactor the codebase to use another form of scripted setup orchestration, such as docker-compose.
