zeekayandHanzo Dev dced1dcfb9 Publish under the org, not a person
Bylines, paper authorship, correspondence addresses and the founder blurb under
each post named an individual. They name the organisation that published the
work instead: the brand on posts and pages, the research byline on papers, and
research@ in place of a personal address. Both are what these repositories
already used elsewhere — nothing new was coined.

Co-authors are untouched. Where a paper named someone else alongside, they stay
named; only the one byline changed. Bibliography entries, running heads,
PDF metadata and affiliations move with it, so a citation still resolves to
whoever the cited paper names.

Sample and fixture data uses the placeholder name these tests already use
elsewhere, so no assertion changed meaning.

\begin{abstract}
\noindent
Biodiversity data is fragmented across thousands of institutional repositories, government databases, citizen science platforms, and individual researcher collections, impeding the large-scale ecological analyses essential for conservation decision-making.
We present the Zoo Data Commons (ZDC), a decentralized repository for open biodiversity datasets built on IPFS and the Zoo Network blockchain.
ZDC introduces a novel \emph{Data Object Model} that wraps biodiversity datasets in cryptographically signed metadata envelopes conforming to the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).
Each data object carries an immutable provenance chain recording its complete transformation history from raw collection through processing, validation, and aggregation.
We implement a three-tier access control system supporting open, permissioned, and sovereign data governance models, enabling indigenous communities and local stakeholders to maintain control over culturally sensitive ecological knowledge.
A token-incentivized curation market rewards data contributors, validators, and annotators, aligning individual incentives with collective data quality improvement.
Over 12 months of operation, ZDC has ingested 2.4 million biodiversity records across 14,200 species from 847 contributors, with a median data quality score 23\% higher than comparable centralized repositories.
The platform has facilitated 312 cross-institutional data reuse events and supported 47 peer-reviewed publications.
ZDC is specified as Zoo Improvement Proposal ZIP-009 and deployed as open infrastructure.
