User Generated Content (UCG) Graph Database & Platform

There are ten major components of the complete AI-Powered Platform:

1. The Blockchain Art GraphDB 'off-Blockchain' database and UI. This is a cloud-based Graph database with comprehensive Art Domain and e-Commerce features, tools, and utilities that facilitate a diverse array of independent global artists to maintain their art portfolio. Artists can ‘tokenize’ selected art that they wish to sell and conduct art commerce transactions using the platform. The database is designed for both structured and non-structured data. Artists / owners do not have to ’tokenize’ all their artwork and expose it on the Blockchain. They can simply use the platform to keep digital versions of their assets in form of a catalogs and ‘virtual galleries’ and use the platform for promotional purposes. Detailed record of art attributes and collectibles with standard and extended meta-data on the Blockchain can be immediately accessed by collectors, artists and insurers to facilitate transactions.

2. ‘On-Blockchain Smart Contracts’ for recording asset provenance, art custody and chain of ownership using smart contracts for transactions and fulfillment. This component is a registry on the Ethereum Blockchain with appropriate user interfaces. This is where the asset provenance and legal portions are stored, including permissions for usage of the content. The Ethereum Blockchain is a key part of the solution. The Blockchain distributed ledger acts as an 'ownership registry'. It is a secure and publicly accessible registry that uses advanced cryptography and is decentralized write-once database that stores the asset Tokens. Ethereum Blockchain registry is robust and forever tamper resistant.

3. Middleware and Application Programming Interfaces (API) library: An API that facilitates interfacing with, and inclusion of external platforms that are owned by auction houses, dealers, art galleries and artists. Service providers such as insurance companies, shipment companies, printing services, storage services, etc. can utilize designated API’s to connect with the Platform.

4. AI (Artificial Intelligence) Search engine: This component is an industrial strength Large Language Model and search engine for queries and searches. The image and object recognition components discover targeted images on the web using a powerful AI engine and algorithms. The engine uses image identification and matching technologies currently being applied in facial and object recognition domains (such as security camera systems in smart city surveillance). The search engines’ continual web crawling will monitor and protect the IP of the registered tokenized asset and immediately report violations.

5. Mobile Device Interfaces: A diverse set of mobile devices will be supported with our mobile Blockchain Art Explorer App called ‘Minero de Arte’ (Art Miner). All information about the art assets provenance and details will be available in a convenient mobile application. Apple iOS, Google Android, and Microsoft's Windows are supported. We are developing mobile applications to allow users to manage their Blockchain assets and access Blockchain based applications. In future, applications such as Toshi, Status, imToken or LETH (one single application to run every Ðapp coded on Ethereum) will allow mobile devices to interact with Blockchain directly and seamlessly. When these applications are mature and available, Platform will integrate and contribute to these innovations in our future releases. Our team will continue to monitor the development stages of these platforms and integrate the ones that work the best with the Platform.

6. Marketing engine: This is a set of components designed to automate marketing and promotion of art, artists and exhibitions. The components have features specifically tailored for artists, galleries, museums, auction houses, dealers, and collectors. Extending reach using social media platforms is an integral feature of these components. The process of loyalty rewards, cross-marketing rewards/payments, referrals and minimum token holding rewards are also handled by this engine. The module is flexible enough to allow adjustments to rewards and promotional programs and will accommodate new creative ideas to promote the ARISTON token circulation.

7. Complaints and Fraud monitoring engine: Complaints, fraud monitoring, disputes and arbitrations will be managed by this module. The system will pick random pre-approved arbiters, and using a smart contract, will follow through the entire process of conflict resolution. The system will follow best practices for enforcement of decisions.

8. Reputation Management: The reputation and rating system will be centralized initially and stored on the off-chain database during the first release phase. As Blockchain technology progresses and matures, the platform will allow artists and experts (and other service providers on the platform) to exchange their hard-earned reputation on the platform as proof of reliability on other platforms. The Platform will also accept reputation certification from other reliable platforms to contribute to the step-by-step creation of a global art-world reputation system on the Blockchain.

9. Education and Knowledge Management: The Platform powered by a Art domain specific Large Language Model (LLM) fine-tuned (alongside RAGs) is designed to become a catalyst for spreading interest in art, globally. One of the tools to invoke interest is to educate people in different forms of art. The platform will have features to connect students with art teachers and experts seamlessly in both one-on-one, as well as one-to-many learning modes. This module is an eLearning module with features of self-paced interactive learning, instructor-led learning as well as group chats and sessions. It will be powered by the ARISTON Tokens, bonuses, rewards and incentives.

10. Invoice and Billing Module: The invoice and billing module is extensible – meaning it will handle multiple templates for shopping carts, accommodating various transactions, billing workflows, methods of billing and collecting payments. The off-chain payment system and the Blockchain payment systems in the Platform converge in this module. The module will have several built-in features for placing orders with options of insurance, shipment and storage.

The Blockchain powered database and user interfaces will store comprehensive detail of artists and their art. The Platform’s powerful query tools will let the client/users search the database and discover information they seek. They can search from a vast database of art using keywords such as artist's name, art era, title of the art, city or country of artist's birth, galleries where the art is displayed, dominant colors, objects in the painting / photograph, orientation, theme or other handy search queries. Search may also be conducted via uploading a digital image of an art to discover its creator, examining its authenticity, location and price.

Optionally, in order to assist in locating and identifying the art objects, users can enter criteria such as color in the top 10% of the image, shape of objects in various portions of an image, and presence of objects (boat, man, woman, child, animals, trees, snow, rocks etc.). The extended experience includes comparing the work of multiple artists and exploring similar work using Artificial Intelligence.

A mobile version of the application will be available for Android and from the App Store with components allowing users to identify art (painting, photograph, collectible and such). An easily accessible service that offers one click to find pertinent information, such as the copyright owner, property rights, current location and the controlling gallery would be of value to the entire art ecosystem. The app will have geolocation capability for selecting provenance experts and service providers (insurance agents, shipping companies and storage companies).

The PROVENIR token (verified art asset token) will include the necessary assurances such as who created the art, when it was created, where it was created, who owns it, who purchased it, when and where it was purchased, condition at last purchase, listed flaws, price of last purchase, and where applicable, how many copies / prints are in circulation. A network of experts spread globally that can be relied upon to maintain and develop personal relationships with local artists is a vital part of this assurance model. These experts will be able to do the vetting and ensure quality through visual inspections when required. The rules will require posting a video and photographs with Artist interviews, if necessary. Furthermore, the rating system implemented in the ‘Reputation module’ will keep the experts honest and fair.

Users and partner entities participating on the platform will keep the tokens circulated by using and exchanging the tokens for services, rewards, and bonuses on the Platform. Beside visitors, the entities that will participate mainly in the BARTVault token economy are as follows:

· Artist: The creator of the Art

· Owner: The current owner of the Art (can be same as the Artist)

· Buyer: The prospective buyer of the Art

· Seller: The Seller of the Art

· Experts: Qualified participant in the system who are designated to verify, attest, determine, and investigate provenance. Experts will be rewarded for the quality of their work. Any user can apply to become an ‘expert’ if sufficient voters approve of their virtuoso and special knowledge of or interest in works of art / curios.

· Advisory council: Representatives of museums, galleries or other organizations (i.e. art institutes) who are recognized as experts in art.

· Arbiter: a participant who can solve disputes and earns rewards; each transaction will have its own randomly selected arbiters.

· Print Shop: an approved print shop / laboratory which prints art copies, posters, photos and such.

· Framing Shop: an approved framing business

· Museum: list of museums

· Gallery: the approved list of galleries. (museums can have several galleries)

· Dealer: the approved list of independent dealers who buy/sell art.
