X-Road and blockchain[edit]

I removed the sentence below, after reading the Nordic Institute for Interoperability Solutions (NIIS)'s article "There is no blockchain technology in the X-Road."^[1] I hope other editors/experts will rework the sentence to improve its accuracy.

X-Road is rooted in a blockchain called K.S.I., developed by Guardtime, in order to prevent tampering.^[2]

Tracing direct quotations[edit]

I added quotation marks to direct quotes. Added details to references and added new sections. I think much of the article may have used direct quotes. "solution that enables organizations to exchange information over the Internet. X-Road is a centrally governed distributed integration layer between information systems that provides a standardized and secure way to produce and consume services. X-Road ensures confidentiality, integrity and interoperability between data exchange parties".^[1]

I wasn't able to find the exact source for these statements. I changed the formatting to wikify.

The NIIS manages, develops, verifies, and audits X-Road's source code; administers documentation, business and technical requirements; conducts development; develops and implements principles of licensing and distribution; provides second-line support for members, and engages in international cooperation.^[2]

I will keep direct quotes during the process of finding RS.Oceanflynn (talk) 18:27, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
