Provenance
Every item's history: origin, changes, AI processing, and validation, append-only.
Provenance is the platform’s memory: who contributed, who verified, what AI touched, and what changed, kept as history rather than overwritten.
What this covers
- Origin and contributor on every item
- AI processing recorded with model and workflow versions
- Licence and consent changes kept as history
- Synthetic media always labelled
Provenance, step by step
- Origin Contributed by a named person or institution, with source attached.
- Review Community review and, where applicable, expert validation recorded.
- Processing Any AI assistance (translation, transcription) logged with model and workflow version.
- Changes Edits, licence and consent changes kept as history; nothing silently overwritten.
- Now Current status shown wherever the item appears.
