    "patent_abstract": "An enhanced blockchain data computing platform for strategic master data management provides a package-built solution using a blockchain platform for Master Data Management. Identity Management and Asset Management are constructed as coordinated extensions of inherent blockchain capabilities. Queries against a Master Data World State provide interactive views into the Data Assets and a full-provenance historical view of Data Asset transactions recorded in a Master Ledger. This ledger is then automatically shared as Distributed Ledger Copies across the blockchain network to other Network Node applications thereby providing access to the same Master Data and improving source data quality and MDM results over time as the Network Nodes synchronize on a single trusted Master Data Management Source of Record.",
    "precision_class": "structural",
    "invention_explanation": "A blockchain system that stores shared master data, lets users view its current state, and preserves the history of every recorded change.",
