Summary:

"The financial industry, medical records, the Internet of Things – millions are currently being invested in research into blockchains, financed from numerous private and public sources. This basic technology of the cybercurrency bitcoin promises to resolve a number of major problems using a decentralised approach. In this blog post, I show that blockchains and P2P (peer-to-peer) systems also represent a unique opportunity for digital libraries to meet the challenge of Big Data. They could make it considerably easier for users to identify, describe, transport, use and edit scientific data on the web, and to enable versioning."
