History: Citation

This pages describes an initial Idea.

Content re-usage, cross site citation and monetization is one of the next things to solve.
After implementing coil, tiki will have to create content blocks with unique IDs and save them to a secure storage. This could be a blockchain which will make up for a secure version control and revision system. Also those IDs can be used to cross reference content snippets allowing for monetization if reused by other sites.
A built in mechanism (smart contract) will automatically share revenues on page views via the payment interface.
An admin interface will allow to set values for revenue shares based on page ranking (source/target), page reference count etc.

Why?
By creating an unforgeable storage content will be citable and reliably available for future reference. Today a link does not contain an information about the content itself and the target is subject to change without any machanism for the referencing party to know when or if the originally linked content has changed nor does a link reference contain a secure way to a specific version. Thus a screenshot today is the most reliable way to cite, but is also easy to tinker with tools like gimp.

Additionally cross site content monetization is a cumbersome process.
This will also allow to use tiki for scientific scenarios as # citations is the main currency for publication.

How?
By having content addressable by eg paragraph and its cited/linked version and having this hooked up with the payment system its possible with tiki to create reliable cross site content sharing and monetization.

What?
Tiki will have an optional blockchain storage path for content its versions.
It'll be redundant and save information in an unforgeable way.
This will also open the door to secure asset management, reliable case documentation and transaction moniitoring and many more applications. If implementet with the trakcer feature tiki could act as a interface builder for smart contracts and blockchain applications.
Pairing up with the recent monetization and the ML features tiki will define a new level for CMS based applications.
