Attribution Bricks in the Great Wall carry their maker's mark: the kiln, the household, the supervising office, pressed into the face before firing. A course that failed could be traced back to the hand that made it. Signed work is better work. Inscribed brick from the Great Wall of China, date undetermined. Grey earthenware, mould-pressed and incised, 32.5 × 15.8 × 8 cm. Artisan-name (wù lè gōng míng) class.

PostgreSQL for lineage. Data Lineage on Humanbased Once work is accepted, lineage records who contributed, what was accepted, and which rights attach, so attribution and payouts travel with the data. See it on Humanbased for royalties.

One artifact kept its record. The other kept its maker. XnY Protocol keeps both for data: where it started, who added value, what stays private, and how contributors are paid when it is used.
