Great work! I have a few questions:

  1. Can you explain what ATF-AI means and the reasoning behind it? Can this be mapped to something like the Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS) standard?

  2. Is the metadata structure made up or based on some existing standard/s? Can it be aligned with existing standards, such as ISO-3166 for geo units, CAIP-10/DIDs, etc.?
