Abstract

A smart contract is a translation of a standard paper-based contract that can be enforced and executed by a contract management system. At a high level of abstraction, a contract is only a document that describes how the signing parties are to behave in different scenarios; nevertheless, the translation of a typical paper-based contract to its electronic counterpart has proved to be both time-consuming and difficult. The requirement for a language capable of capturing the core of a contract in simple phrases and definitions has been a focus of study for many years. EROP (Events, Rights, Obligations, Prohibitions) is a contract specification language that breaks a contract down into sets of events, rights, obligations, and prohibitions.
