Laying the groundwork for “Digital Artifacting”

Summary

Digital Artifacting is a new age concept of an age old process of the discovery of knowledge about time and space by people to provide us better truth about history.   Our Digital Artifacting (DA) process is unprecedented when evaluated in terms of  time, quality and cost.  It begins with attaching an artifact quality Digital Medallion on an object.   The Digital Medallion is then infused with knowledge of archival quality facts and links about itself on itself providing the same function as artifact provenance.  The process provides balance to the facts that reside about a thing on the thing(more than company, model, serial number stamped on it); and trying to find all the needed knowledge about a thing  in huge databases or libraries somewhere available only to some. A thing underground or occupying space without knowledge soon becomes just another unknown thing which will require an expensive rediscovery process.  With our application of Knowledge Infusion (KI) into Digital Medallions (DM) attached to things, people have quick and cost effective knowledge about assets versus things that require a rediscovery process by a knowledgeable person to remain assets.  Through Digital Artifacting a thing is enabled to provide the knowledge of who said what and when about it, and proof that they were entrusted to say it.
