Semantics and Non-Fungible Tokens for Copyright Management on the Metaverse and Beyond

Understand

Recent initiatives related to the Metaverse focus on better visualisation, like augmented or virtual reality, but also persistent digital objects.

• To guarantee real ownership of these digital objects, open systems based on public blockchains and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are emerging together with a nascent decentralized and open creator economy.
• To manage this emerging economy in a more organised way, and fight the so common NFT plagiarism, we propose CopyrightLY, a decentralized application for authorship and copyright management.
• It provides means to claim content authorship, including supporting evidence.
