A reference site will be set up to demonstrate the technology, allow selected individuals and organisations to publish content, and provide free courses on installing and configuring the plugins (for site admins) and setting up a digital wallet (for consumers). Once the plugins are delivered there will be a programme of out-reach via Sussex University to not-for-profit organisations who would benefit from building new or more sustainable business models around existing content and knowledge.
