A way to preserve and link factual data sets. Most reference to Wikipedia are dead links. Many legacy media will stealth edit articles or outright delete them. Original media files can be loss and after strange eons their authenticity will not be able to be asserted. It will soon be impossible to distinguish from deep fakes and actual original and genuine media. Some regimes such as Maoist China wanted to rewrite their past from scratch and erased all historical artifacts from their territory. There are strong pressure to create an Orwellian Doublespeak to erase certain words entirely from speech, books and records. With e-books now the norm it has now become legitimate question to ask if the books are the same they were when the author published them. Collaborative content websites have shown that they were not immune to subversive large and organized influence operations. I have set my mind to multiple solutions (even bought a catchy sounding *.org domain name!). Obviously it will have to be distributed as to build a consensus and thus it will have to rely on hashes. But hashes alone are meaningless so some from of information will have to come along with them, which in themselves are information to authenticate with other hashes. I was thinking that the authentication value would come from individual recognized signatories. Those would be a a mesh of statements of records. For example you might not trust your government, but you might trust you grandparents and you old neighbors who all agree that there was a statue on the corner of the street and they all link to each other and maybe link to hashes of pictures and 3D scans with links. Future generations can then confirm those links with other functional URIs. Something like blockchain technology seems an obvious choice but I have no experience with that (for now) but also there is the problem that it needs to be easily usable; therefore there is a need of a bit of a centralization (catchy domain name yay!) although any one could setup his/her own service for certain specialized subjects. Thoughts?
