Reaching consensus for new terms associated with particular areas of specialist knowledge using Blockchain Technology
Session

Description
As the accelerated development of technology requires the development of professional terminology, this simultaneously sets forth the need for developing a solution that aims to reach a consensus on new terms associated with particular areas of specialist knowledge. While these solutions are required in the language of the terms’ origin, they often become more challenging in other languages since differing viewpoints on a term's variations are more common. Using the consensus mechanism of blockchain technology, this paper aims to find a suitable method or algorithm for reaching an agreement among professionals and other interested parties on these new terms relating to certain fields of specialized knowledge. The analysis incorporated in the paper tests the known consensus algorithms of blockchain technology to find the most suitable algorithm that can be used to bring professionals, both linguists, and other actors, to contribute to reaching a collective decision by using a blockchain network through distributed nodes. In this case, the group of participants of the blockchain would comprise the language's decision-making institutions, the relevant field professionals, and the wide users, such as the general population. Given the different participants involved, the paper proposes that the weight of the nodes' vote vary for each of the three categories of blockchain participants, allowing for an internal consensus in each category before the final consensus is reached.

Reaching consensus for new terms associated with particular areas of specialist knowledge using Blockchain Technology
Lipjan, Kosovo
As the accelerated development of technology requires the development of professional terminology, this simultaneously sets forth the need for developing a solution that aims to reach a consensus on new terms associated with particular areas of specialist knowledge. While these solutions are required in the language of the terms’ origin, they often become more challenging in other languages since differing viewpoints on a term's variations are more common. Using the consensus mechanism of blockchain technology, this paper aims to find a suitable method or algorithm for reaching an agreement among professionals and other interested parties on these new terms relating to certain fields of specialized knowledge. The analysis incorporated in the paper tests the known consensus algorithms of blockchain technology to find the most suitable algorithm that can be used to bring professionals, both linguists, and other actors, to contribute to reaching a collective decision by using a blockchain network through distributed nodes. In this case, the group of participants of the blockchain would comprise the language's decision-making institutions, the relevant field professionals, and the wide users, such as the general population. Given the different participants involved, the paper proposes that the weight of the nodes' vote vary for each of the three categories of blockchain participants, allowing for an internal consensus in each category before the final consensus is reached.
