Hi Community,
I am happy to announce that this Thursday (the 14th of April), Meinte Boersma will hold the discussion about " Language engineering for the EU Digital COVID-19 Certificate ".
Also, remember that we changed the link to join the Meetup!
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the European Union has provided a digital certificate so that citizens can proof that they have been tested negative for, recovered from, or been vaccinated against COVID-19: the EU DCC (for “European Union Digital COVID-19 Certificate”) which takes the form of a QR code. The purpose of this certificate is to facilitate free travel of EU citizens by providing a means to quickly and reliably gauge whether someone is fit-for-entry into a country. The EU DCC went live July 1st 2021, and since then more than (roughly) 3 billion DCC have been issued. Every country participating with the EU DCC has the possibility to declare the rules that govern whether someone is deemed fit-for-entry into that country based on their DCC. These rules are defined using a small DSL called CertLogic.
In this talk, Meinte will explain where the EU DCC comes from, how it works, and why it’s designed and implemented the way it is. In particular, he’ll explain CertLogic, its evolution, and the validation process based on it. Finally, he’d like to discuss how this approach could be extended to facilitate automated decision-making (ADM) processes.
Meinte Boersma is a language engineer from the Netherlands. In the past he has worked for Mendix on their Web modeling capabilities, on his own language workbench Más, and on ALEF, the Agile Law Execution Factory of the Dutch Tax Administration. Currently, he works as an independent consultant, among others for the Dutch Ministry of Health. He’s currently also working on a book about implementation of Web-based projectional DSLs for Manning Publications - see here.

P.S. We get a recurring question: “Are presentations recorded?”. The answer is not, and the reasons are explained here https://d.strumenta.community/t/on-recording-virtual-meetups/949/7
