eVBCodes
eVBCodes, short for electronic Value-Based Codes, is an open standard for encoding event-centric data used in modern digital systems. The specification provides a compact, machine-readable representation for events, their sources, timestamps, and attributes, enabling consistent interpretation across software, services, and devices. The aim is to improve interoperability in analytics, automation, and policy enforcement while supporting data provenance and privacy controls.
A typical eVBCodes representation models an event as an object with fields such as id, type, time,
Governance and adoption: eVBCodes was conceived by a community of developers and data practitioners in the
Security and privacy: The specification includes optional features for provenance through cryptographic signatures, integrity checks, and
Reception and limitations: Proponents cite improved interoperability and traceability, while critics warn of potential fragmentation and
