Self-built website running account 2. Register ISCN for website content

When I posted yesterday, I accidentally found that the LikeCoin plug-in directly invaded the tool bar on the right side of the editor article. There were many settings that were not there before yesterday. After random use, I found that this is the legendary ISCN .

ISCN and #DePub

As a writer on Matters, I am no longer unfamiliar with such terms. #DePub is the familiar decentralized publishing (Decentralized Publishing), according to the explanation on LikeCoin's official website:

Decentralized publishing refers to publishing articles, photos, books, short films and other content to the blockchain and decentralized network, so that valuable content can be circulated forever, and achieve the purpose of content authorization, verification and traceability.

The features of decentralized publishing include: no approval, openness and transparency, and low threshold.

Of course, you can't help but ask, don't blogs, social media, and the grid or Matters platforms we are using now all have these functions? In the world of most people, it may be, but when the state power invades or even fully controls the area, all the uploaded content can disappear overnight, perhaps this form of publication has special meaning.

Under the design of LikeCoin, the other side of decentralized publishing is to provide ISCN ( International Standard Content Number ) on the blockchain for authors to store the metadata of creation, including author, date, authorization method, version, content fingerprint, etc. , in addition to providing readers with search clues, it also keeps the content relatively permanent in the online world .

However, I don’t want to pretend that I am an expert in this field. Whether it is decentralized publishing or the definition of ISCN , there are already countless opinions on Matters. Teach you how to register ISCN painlessly for website content.

Of course, first of all you have to have your own website.

#DePub upload system plugged into LikeCoin

Many self-supporting websites have installed LikeCoin plug-in, so that the clapping button of LikeCoin can be directly displayed at the bottom of the article. It seems that the plug-in has been automatically upgraded in the past few days, and the #DePub function has been added, which makes it much easier to register the article with ISCN.

The first step to register for ISCN is to publish an article first . You must clearly press "Publish" and then press to edit the article. Press the clapping symbol on the right toolbar, and the blue button of DePub will appear (as shown below):

After pressing it, the following window will appear. Here you can see that the registration fee is quite cheap. In principle, there is only 1 LikeCoin. However, if the file is too large, it should increase a little fee depending on the situation. After the file is finished, the registration is successful!

At this time, the right side of the editing page will also show that the work has been published (below), and the ISCN ID address will appear, you can click to see it.

If you look closely at the publications item (below), you will find that here, the author (Owner) is invisible as a series of alphanumeric and symbol combination online wallets, so the uploaded content cannot reveal who is the author, even if clicked in The content of the article (Content Fingerprints) —usually it takes a long time to run and even can’t find the page — I only see the work, but not the author . The only place where the author appears is displayed as Stakeholders. Does this mean that the real author is not interested in uploading? Limited authorship of material? If someone registers a plagiarized article, how to clarify the copyright attribution? Is this my question for ISCN?

Of course, it is a matter of opinion whether an individual's work is worth permanently registering on the blockchain. This involves the waste of network resources, and the author's opinion on the ownership of his work. However, if it is like last year's action to rescue the demise of Hong Kong's independent media, the district will The preservation of the blockchain still has substantial benefits. It is also conceivable that in an authoritarian country, if someone wants to publish any information anonymously, the ISCN is stored as the content, which can indeed play a role in protecting the sender. After all, the series of numbers in the wallet is important for tracking the author. Less clues. In other words, I think the value of ISCN at this stage is to preserve "content", not to present "writings".

Finally, after registration, you can also choose to display the ISCN link of the article at the end of the article (below).

The article is published simultaneously in the volume, in addition to writing

 In addition, the new functions of the LikeCoin plug-in also include: articles published on the self-supporting website can be set to be published synchronously/saved as drafts in Matters, which saves the time of publishing twice, which is much more convenient.
