In regular databases, the person who is in charge of said organization will have the ability to alter data, whereas in blockchain, the data is run by a decentralized and organizationless computer.

Having this trustlessness allows a business to be to be held to an open and honest standard and will diminish the risk of theft and fraud.

How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
Blockchain is a trust less public ledger that information can only be added by the supply chain.
Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
A normal data base is controlled by a central authority with the information stored on hardware or in cloud storage.This requires trust since Administrators can amend or remove data.
Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
Users can have confidence the information is correct as it is instantly verifiable.

How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
Blockchain acts like a runestone whereby one can make a transaction on the ledger, but one cannot remove it. It is also unforgeable and in real-time. Blockchain can enable provenance because multiple, decentralized nodes can store the information chronologically. -
Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
A normal database cannot bring the same provenance because entries can be edited and changed by the owner of said database. The database may also not be real-time. If it is, like a google doc database, it runs under one company. Yes, you might have privacy permissions to help, but you can still be at the mercy of the company. -
Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
The provenance increases the efficiency of business at large. It can create multiple layers (for example marry the accounting layer with a transaction layer right way and in real-time. Business and consumers can track supply much more transparently and efficiently as well.

How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
Blockchain is decentralised, so a single entity does not control data. It offers public access to transparent transactions, which are visible in real time. Transactions cannot be removed/altered. The decentralised open source nature of blockchain also allows for greater & easier integrations between entities. -
Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
A ‘normal’ database is centralised & may be edited, before an audit. It doesn’t have audit functionality, which must then be performed by an external auditer accruing extra cost to a business. Currently, databases are built on many different platforms making supply chain integration complex & costly. They rarely utilise the same supply chain tracking ability which blockchain offers as the ROI would be very low to the businesses involved & they are not currently required to do so by law. Therefore, businesses must trust each other that product & supply information supplied is correct. However, blockchain creates a ‘trustless’ system whereby the information is completely visible on the blockchain. -
Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
Digital Provenence saves time due to the nature of real time transacting. There are huge cost savings to a business also including: integration cost, audit, due diligence, supply chain management & in house transaction verifification. Businesses & consumers can rest assured that what they are purchasing is truly correct.

1.The Blockchain cant be conned or scammed- it is a chain of transactions that can be tracked and has an open ledger to check records freely so securing a safer future
2.The centralized databases can be manipulated and changed without question,liable to hacks, the outdated system has flaws and people abuse the power without anyone knowing which can favour themselves
3.real time auditing is so much more logical , why go the long hard way round of having an audit if it can be calculated with blockchain technology on a daily weekly whatever’s most suitable for the individual
It verifies transactions from the source

How does blockchain enable digital provenance ?
Provenance is the origin or the source of something. Blockchain technology allows a decentralized network to share information with confidence that the information is correct and true due to the nature of the technology becoming increasingly difficult to hack as the chain grows and the majority of nodes of the network are honest. The ability to digitally verify the source of information becomes possible with blockchain. -
Why doesn’t a normal database bring that same provenance?
A normal database is most likely centralized which can make it far more vulnerable to dishonest manipulation. It allows the database to be the one authority of any information a client node is asking for. Failure of this server brings down the system for processing client requests. Since only the central database has authority, it can manipulate source data if it so desired without any checks and balances from anyone else. -
Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
Businesses can verify data in real time using digital provenance. Data in different levels in a supply chain can be readily accessed by any node on the network as opposed to relying on a central authority. Using math and scientific method, digital provenance can reduce the need for middle managers and automate many tasks a human would be responsible for calculating, in turn lowering the cost of service or product.

1 with blockchain you put information in and you can not take information out. with that it is impossible to change information thats already on the blockchain and its impossible to hack the information.
2 because a normal database is not by proof of work
3 because it is digital you can use it anywhere in the world. businesses need to rely on the information shown being legit and real.

- Blockchain enables digital provenance because data is only able to be added to a blockchain, and you can never remove it once the data has been added. This creates an exactness that acts as an antitrust mechanism to ensure that a currency is not a duplicate and is sent where it needs to go.
- A normal database wont bring the same provenance because a normal database is usually consisted of a single computer or several that dont run the same programs. Blockchain differs from the normal database by lots of computing power that runs the same software as the means to approve or disapprove or transactions and other trading activity.
- It is a great benefit to many businesses because it will ensure the payment for a specific digital good or service. Promoting provenance within business is promoting positive business ethics that will engulf the digital marketplace because of the efficiency it offers.

There are really two principle blockchain attributes that facilitate digital provenance. The first is its immutable nature as this guarantees that amendments to verifiable data cannot be made by rogue actors with an agenda. The second is its distributed nature as this guarantees that data added to the blockchain is independently verified by nodes beyond the control of any rogue actors.
-
A normal database does not provide the same provenance as it lacks the two properties inherent in answer one; that is to say that a normal database is susceptible to both data amendments and operations not inherently subject to external verification.
-
Digital provenance is important to both clients and suppliers (as clients themselves of the providers they rely upon) because there is otherwise no externally verifiable mechanism to guarantee that claims made about data related to the operation of the business are in fact factual. Without digital provenance, data consumers must rely on trust in an increasingly untrustworthy world.

Blockchain is essentially a decentralized database. It is immutable and unhackable, which ensures the integrity and veracity of all the data stored on the blockchain. Manipulating data on the blockchain requires a 51% consensus across all nodes holding the ledger.
-
Normal databases are centralized, which allows for central control and manipulation of the data in the database. Therefore they are hackable and the integrity of the data cannot be verified to the same degree as it is with blockchain.
-
Businesses benefit from having the integrity of their databases protected from manipulation. They also benefit because their consumers can have confidence in the information that is stored in the blockchain regarding physical products. Real-time audits increase efficiency and allow for greater transparency, removing the concern of trust as all data is verified.

Blockchain is a public ledger where data can be only added but not removed. It is the database for the transactions and it is shared within the network where can be tracked accordingly.
The regular database could be modified and it is not transparent. Because of the centralized system, the users are trusting the administrator but they cannot trace the transaction provenance.
Gives the option to the customer to verify the provenance of the product/service and get the confidence to buy it. At the same time, the business will be able to verify the origin of its supplies without the need for auditors. Don’t trust, verify.

With real time auditing. In the blockchain technology you can track each transaction in real time and all records cannot be erased. This is possible because you have a pubblic distributed ledger.

Because you cant make any auditing and only need to trust the database owner.

Digital provenance remove the need of trust from any business, combining account ledger with the transaction ledger. You always can verify with the math and need to trust only in this, no other part.

Provenance homework 1/14/2021
1.) How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
Blockchain tech enables digital provenance by confirming the ability to track and verify transactions. Transactions are permanently inscribed onto the blockchain and cannot be removed. They are immutable. Blockchain is an open, public ledger where every transaction can be traced and never erased, or removed via data manipulation.
2.) Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
Because a “normal” database is centralized, and susceptible to manipulation. Central govts, central banks, etc can theoretically alter transactions to benefit their nefarious goals. It also requires a lot of trust in a trustless system, hence “don’t trust, verify”.
3.) Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
Because it builds trust with customers/clients, purveyors, partners, colleagues, etc. Digital provenance creates permanent transactions and real time auditing options that are extremely beneficial and time efficient.
