Fecha de publicación: -- Fuente: Wipo "digitalization" Systems and methods for managing digital assets in a distributed computing environment are described. Meta-data for the digital assets is stored separately from the digital assets. Meta-data for some of the digital assets is copied and stored at a central location. Meta-data for the digital assets is generated by clients of the system. A method for enabling a verifiable audit record relating to a plurality of received audit records includes: receiving a plurality of audit records, each audit record corresponding to a digital asset, identifying an action performed on the digital asset, and having an associated digital signature; creating, after receipt of one of the plurality of audit of records, a hash value corresponding to a subset of the received audit records, the subset comprising at least two records and including the received audit record; and associating, by the server, the hash value with the subset of records.
