Scheme Questions Clause Samples

Scheme Questions. In this section we analyze all schemes, and group and classify the questions that are used to determine an end state; see Table 2. To be able to reach any of the three model end states (as discussed in the previous section), each ques- tion should lead to an answer which holds a (database) technology property. In particular, we are interested in questions that differentiate between technologies [41], which we label ‘T’. For our scheme we currently consider the remaining questions as not relevant. We classified the questions as follows: 1. Our first question type refers to determining which database type is needed. We label these as ‘T’. 2. Also, there exist questions that address the current limitations of blockchain, which we label as ‘L’. 3. A particular set of questions focus on the system design, instead of technologi- cal properties. For example ‘(do you need) censorship resistance’ and ‘where is consensus determined’ are design questions. These scheme questions consider this to be a prerequisite for the use of a technology. We do not consider these questions for our scheme, as they do not distinguish between technologies from a technical perspective. We label these questions as ‘E’. 4. We label our fourth question type as process questions, ‘P’. The answers to these questions also do not in particular differentiate between technologies. Therefore, these questions types in the schemes are irrelevant for determining if, and if so, which database technology can be used. For example, the ques- tions ‘aiming to remove third parties?’, ‘looking to reduce costs?’, and ‘can participants adopt?’ are process related questions. We do not include these questions in our scheme, see Sect.
