- By linking the source of information and by that unify and integrate the whole creation process thus making it holistic. All verified by the blockchain.
- Because a normal database is fragmented and not linked to its original source thus making it necessary to connect the dots manually and afterwords making it impossible to verify.
- It verifies and simplifies and by that gaining efficiency and trust.

Blockchain allows digital provenance by being able to record transactions onto its database accurately, nobody is able to remove data or add onto it.
-
In a normal database, the data written down can be manipulated and inaccurate, it is more of a trust system which is not a good thing. The records of transactions are not as quick as blockchain and require more work.
-
It can cut costs significantly in terms of accounting for the business, it also allows them to track all transactions accurately. It also benefits their consumers as they can see where their purchased goods are coming from.

How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
Being a chain of blocks of transactions information, it is the best solution to record any historical piece of information in an immutable way, so any involved party can know exactly what happened and the genuineness of the financial or goods items they are selling/buying.
Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
It is not decentralized, nor immutable, there is no trustlessness.
Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
To guarantee they are providing what they promise with trustlessness, everyone involved can verify the history, originality, genuineness and quality of the goods or of the information related to the transaction.

- Blockchain uses real time tracking and verification to allow complete transparency to every transaction.
2)data could be changed, altered or manipulated
3)It makes record keeping easier, by linking accounting and transactions

- How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
By being an immutable ledger to which data can be written to but not removed (unless a majority of nodes are hacked), with that same data visible to all parties and not hidden, available for real-time audits of transaction history for the ledger.
- Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
Normal database structures can be re-written.
- Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
It is a way to verify how things move down the supply chain, to reduce or eliminate fraudulent representations. It also allows for better tracking if there is an issue with a product (contamination, etc), to be able to pinpoint the place in the chain where the problem most likely occurred.

- BC is a permanent digital database that exit in a network of decentralized computers. When transaction recorded in one computer, the entire network will need to verify and give consensus of such transaction. This eliminates trust and enable digital provenance.
- A normal database is centralized and can be hacked. When information is altered, there is no real time verification to prevent misinformation from spreading. That is why a normal day abase can’t not provide the same provenance as BC.
- Digital provenance allows businesses to verify all transactions and procedures involving sales and production of any products and services.

1). Firstly, Blockchain is decentralized; it doesn’t exist only on one computer but on a network of computers. So, If you alter your local copy, you’re out of consensus with the network and ignored.
Secondly, transactions in each block on a blockchain are not in isolated units but linked to each other. The hash of each block contains the hash of the previous block, and as a result no block can be deleted. It’s like a chain, that’s why it’s called Blockchain.
These unique characteristics put together make it seamless and efficient for every transaction to be tracked or traced back to when it was mined, therefore making digital provenance possible.
2). Other databases don’t bring same provenance because they are centralized and allow for data-altering or deleting of data from the database. A database where data can be easily altered from a central base eliminates the feature of digital provenance.
3). Digital provenance is of great importance to so many businesses. In the area of finance , it enables real-time auditing of financial transactions. And in the food industry, digital provenance makes the verification of the ‘acclaimed ingredients’ in a particular mix making up a food item, like say a food supplement, possible.
These features of real-time auditing and verification of food ingredients of Digital Provenance takes away the issue of trust and helps in achieving “TRUSTLESSNESS”. Hence , people don’t have to just trust but they can easily VERIFY to be 100% sure of every transactional details.

By keeping a digital ledger that must be verified by multiple, random nodes, blockchain’s technique is able to verify the truthfulness of an action and it’s requirements. In turn, allowing for provenance.
-
A normal database requires the trust of both parties, and in a world without blockchain and human error, blockchain is able to produce a level of provenance that beats out even the most trustworthy individuals (who may be prone to human error)

Digital provenance is a great benefit as it allows for real time verification, which can guarantee the validity of a claim of a product or service from food production to medical equipment efficacy testing.

- Blockchain makes transactions trustless by allowing everyone to check the provenance of the transactions.
- Because normal databases can be manipulated by a government or a company, but with blockchain you can check the provenance and veracity of every transaction knowing they haven’t been manipulated in any way.
- Digital provenance provides the company with reliability and customer satisfaction. For example, the customers can verify the quality of the products the company is selling.

the public decentralized ledger allows for this feature. Furthermore, data can only be added to the ledger
-
Normal database has an owner. Validity of information relies on trust. Data can be manipulated or is at risk of getting lost

reduces auditing costs, and allows for more transaction transparency allowing for network efficiencies in the future.

- Through the blockchain and its permanent transaction ledger record, to which data can only be added, not removed
- Because normal databases are not transparent and decentralized, meaning they aren’t immutable as the blockchain
- Because of the greater auditing efficiency offered by the blockchain, in which verification replaces trust, allowing for such features as merging transaction and accounting

Blockchain enables digital provenance by creating an immutable and open ledger for transactions.
-
A normal database does not provide the same provenance as a blockchain for many reasons, one of them being normal databases can be altered as often as one chooses to.

Digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses because of the trust-less environment it creates.

How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
*With the distributed ledger keeping track of every transaction and enabling anyone to see all transactions, there is no way to corrupt the data. (For physical goods there are many ways to corrupt the “data” by swapping the items though).
Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
A normal database is a centralized system, and tampering with the data is easier (depending on security in the NW) since you only have to do it at one place.
Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
As a buyer (consumer or company) of the goods you don´t have to trust the supplier, or the supplier´s supplier etc. You will have information of the origin in the block-chain.

Blockchain is a public database where you can add transactions that you can track and trace but cannot remove once they added. It is trustless
-
In a normal database, data can be removed or edited.

Normal databases do not use a blockchain and if not allows contain a middle man which has to be trusted. A normal database can’t be verified in realtime.

Businesses would essentially save cost on many things such as receipts and accounting in general. Cost of keeping a business open could also be much more simplified due to the verify>trust standard that would emerge as a result of blockchain technology. If say the blockchain was used in the automotive industry many people could avoid buying lemons as all states and location of the automobile could be verified from sale to sale.
