A proposal for funding to support the development of a novel, decentralized HALO database was submitted on 18 December 2025 to the DFG programme: Information Infrastructure for Research Data. The envisioned 3-year project aims at developing a working prototype of a de-centralized database using the novel IPFS technology for referencing data.
It is intended to apply for another 3-year project phase to develop advanced functionality in a second phase of the project.
