Welcome to d-gree's documentation!
==================================

.. index:: d-gree Documentation

d-gree (http://d-gree.org) is an open source decentralised solution toolbox for handling digital degrees, certificates, badges and microcredentials.
It is aimed at educational institutions and training programme providers on their path to offering digital records of student achievements.
One of the defining characteristics of d-gree is the ability to run on the Internet Computer [1]_.

Before diving into the software architecture, it is advised to get familiar with the :ref:`artefacts` produced by d-gree, as well as typical :ref:`workflows` associated to them including issuance and revocation. Further central concepts are workspaces, :ref:`configuration` and :ref:`modes`. Miscellaneous concepts are documented in :ref:`concepts`.

Structurally, d-gree is a toolbox of many software components that can be stitched together as needed. An overview is given in :ref:`components`. Here are some further details about components that have reached a certain maturity:

* Guided configuration, see :ref:`configurator`.
* Production of badges, see :ref:`badgegen`.

Production services based on d-gree are currently operating at:

* Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland, publicly accessible through https://credentials.zhaw.ch/

Development of d-gree is supported by a number of research and development projects, including funding by:

* Innosuisse, the Swiss Innovation Agency (# 69879.1 INNO-ICT)
* DFINITY Foundation, Zurich, Switzerland
* ZHAW digital, Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland
* ETH Zurich, School of Continuing Education, Switzerland

The development is supported by an :ref:`team`.
