Pardalis’ patented Common Point Authoring™ (CPA) System provides the technological framework behind all future Data Banks for the private and public sectors, including the Pardalis AgriFood Data Bank™.

The CPA System represents a radically new way to author, protect, and share high-value information created by the many information producers that make up complex information supply chains or demand chains. Our core solution:

• Uniquely identifies every authored data element,
• Makes immutable every authored data element, and
• Permanently attributes the identity of the respective information producer to each immutable, authored data element

The result is an immutable, uniquely-identified, electronic pedigree for any information registered into the CPA system. The CPA system is not an iterative improvement over an existing or competitive system, but a new, systemic approach to creating, storing and sharing data.

The CPA System is a core architecture that can be adapted to meet business-to-business or government-to-government information exchange needs:  

• Terabyte-capable, relational  database architecture, providing scalability needed to handle billions of data records and transactions
• Internet access layer ensuring that everyone in an information supply chain can participate easily and economically
• Many-to-many information exchange and transaction infrastructure, enabling thousands of information producers to reach agreements to buy, trade, share, sell, resell, or perform other transactions
• Author-Level Digital Rights Management (A-DRM) technology for protection of producer privacy, data confidentiality, and secure information exchange (read more about A-DRM).
• Traceability and audit log to record all information transactions and ensure accountability.

This core system will be adapted to private- or public-sector information supply chains by means of “industry modules”—application layers integrated seamlessly with the core architecture and providing industry-specific interfaces, business logic, and other functionality.

The Pardalis AgriFood Data Bank™ is the first industry application of the Common Point Authoring System.
