- How does blockchain enable digital provenance? It creates an immutable (unchangeable) record of origin and tracks transfer of ownership or path-of-travel history, along with other pertinent meta-data on the object.
- Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance? A normal database allows for records/entries to be edited, and can therefore can have weaker integrity.
- Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses? It creates security, stability and allows for real-time verification/audit of data and process.

Every transaction or checkpoint in a supply chain with it’s corresponding real time time stamp is added to an immutable database or ledger. The immutable data of this ledger is accessible by anyone making it very transparant.
-
Regular databases are often owned and maintained by central authorities which could be able to manipulate the data. These databases rely more on trust than they do in verification.
-
It can save companies a lot of money when it comes to traceability. Also since the blockchain automatically facilitates digital provenance it merges the tasks of accounting transactions and processing transactions into one single action.

It provides a decentralised method of recording transactional, accounting and auditing information that is exactlty the same across a distributed database and agreed on by the entire blockchain.
-
A normal database system is a single store of information. Only that single store needs to be compromised to invalidate the provenance of the data.
-
It provides real-time accurate data that can be completely trusted.

1- How does blockchain enable digital provenance? It enables provenance because it is a public ledger that can be audited in real time.
2 - Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance? A normal database is not public/ it is centralized. Therefore it is based on trust rather than it being verifiable.
3 - Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses? This is beneficial because business becomes transparent.

Blockchain enables digital provenance by allowing both users and providers to be
confident in the authenticity and origin of information being transferred, whether it be a service (auditing) or an item (food). The blockchain tracks all inputs and cross references with all previous inputs to guarantee a succesful and trust-less exchange. -
Normal databases don’t bring the same provenance because they rely on trust between all actors of any given exchange, where any actor can be deceiving or outright lie with little regulations on authenticity of claims.
-
Digital provenance is beneficial to many sectors and companies because it eliminates the need for trust in every actor, users can be confident in what they are receiving. The blockchain can confirm claims made along the production of services/goods by accessing the ledger and checking previous references.

1.The blockchain uses nodes to verify transactions on an open-source ledger, allowing anyone with the intention to do so, to trace the digital transaction between block chain addresses.
2.Private companies own their own centralized data and would generally need an audit to find and verify all transactions from an internal or external source, which is time consuming making the process less convenient when tracking transactions.
3.Digital provenance is basically the ability to do real time auditing for any transaction on a public ledger. Using a unique identifier to cross reference whether the transaction took place and is verified.

Blockchain enables digital provenance by creating and keeping an immutable, public and trustless ledger which data that anyone can verify as being valid.
-
Because traditional databases require central servers runned by centralized institutions with the power to manipulate the information. They are not based on verification but on trust.
-
Digital provenance is a great benefit to many businesses because it brings data ownership, a major privacy concern, and costs reduction, because they don’t have to spend countless amounts of money on compatibility, efficiency and trust anymore.

1. How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
Every transaction is added to the blockchain database and cannot be removed.
2. Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
A normal database doesn’t put together the Accounting and Transactional layers, which a blockchain does. Additionally, on the blockchain, it is done publicly and therefore can be audited in real-time.
3. Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
Digital provenance removes trust from the equation. Tracking can be done in trustless fashion, since the data added to the blockchain is verified and immutable.

1- Providing origin and source of each transaction that can be traced and verified through each step of a given process.
2- Normal databases will let you delete, modify data, therefore disrupting the concept of immutability.
3- Accurate traceability, high levels of verification rather than blind trust, monitors, real time auditing and checks while a object is being transacted.

Blockchain enables digital provenance by providing a public ledger (a financial book and/or database) that anyone can see and access. The information on the ledger can only be added on not removed - which means the data cannot be manipulated.
-
A normal database doesn’t bring the same provenance because it is centralized - it can be manipulated by the party owning the database.

Digital provenance is a great benefit to businesses because it brings a trust-less way of verifying the information which means you do not have to trust another party that the information hasn’t been tempered with - you are able to verify it yourself.
Edit - things I forgot.
Q1 - it also gives you traceability - you can see where the transaction originated and ended up on.
Q3 - data on blockchain does not need to be audited - because the transaction is immediately verifiable and public, which saves time & money for a business.
keyword - immutable, trustless.

How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
There is no human central authority that needs to review, confirm / trust a transaction. The blockchain knows the history of transactions and can therefore verify. The data on a blockchain cannot be deleted or changed by a single entity. -
Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
A normal database will be owned and/or administered by a central authority that can confirm / reject a transaction. A normal database can also be altered by a single entity. -
Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
It can provide real-time auditing with a greater accuracy than the current method used by big organisations such as Deloitte. This can be time consuming, resource heavy and inaccurate. Whilst digital provenance can mitigate against all these issues.

How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
It combines the accounting layer with the transactional layer and the added data in the blockchain is immutable. The data in the blockchain is public and each transaction is verified by the network, making the transaction history transparent, trackable and trustworthy. This enables trustlessness. -
Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
Data in a normal database can be altered. You’d have to trust that the data in the database is correct. -
Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
It removes the necessity of trusting data and/or third parties. Instead you can verify the data in the blockchain yourself. Don’t trust - verify.
It enables realtime/automated auditing and tracking.

By being an open ledger with time stamps that can not be altherde with, the technology enables full transparence towards for example the customers. This function brings trust to a hole new level, which means that you don not have to trust anyone, you can just simply verify with the blockchain technology.
-
A normal database don not have the same chronological timestamps that is unremovable or the same transparence and therefore you can “hide” or not publish any information that you don not want as a company.

With this new digital provenance you are able to send valuable digital assets securely and without trusting the receiving part because of the blockchain technology and you can verify every transaction. For example in trade finance, you can trade with a country that has a high rate of corruption, this du to the fact that you don not have to trust the part that you are trading with.
