- Blockchain enables digital provenance by removing trust through verification. Proof of origin is a sure way to validate the authenticity of a value.
- A normal database doesn’t bring the same provenance because there is little or no outside verification. For example, in the simple case of an excel spreadsheet data base, the integrity of the information inputs are a direct correlation to the data entry person. Blockchain enables provenance to be established as a result of unlimited verifying data entry persons.
- Digital provenance is a great benefit to many businesses due to transparency of data, work etc and the value of that integrity.

A normal database does not have a decentralized network of nodes to perform the work of verification therefore the normal private database can be altered or manipulated and is NOT trustless.

How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
Digital provenance is enabled via the blockchain’s public ledger. This provides a record
of every transaction that has ever occurred within the database.
Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
Traditional databases allow for transactions to be erased and do not provide a
public ledger to all users.
Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
It removes trust from the equation and allows them to verify information based on
verifiable data.

- How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
Blockchain enables digital provenance through decentralization of a database, in which all data is public and fully accessible. This allows realtime verification of the contents of the database. Even if the data is partially encrypted, the transactions or data may still be largely verified. - Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
Normal databases do not provide the same level of provenance because the data is often centralized under a company, institution or government and can be erased or manipulated. The data may be lost without any copy. The entities involved in a transaction or the deposition of data are not required to verify what is true, which ultimately requires those reviewing the data to “trust” that it is true. This leaves every interaction vulnerable to deception or fault. - Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
It would provide a level of transparency that raises the standard of products or services provided by a person, company or other entity because they are accountable to the public and/or their clients. This would elevate confidence of the recipient that what they are receiving is true and verified; thereby granting customer satisfaction.

By allowing the public to see all transactions and entries on the blockchain. They cannot be removed and need to be verified by many computers on the blockchain, so you can be sure that the information is accurate and can not be manipulated. Transparency for all.
-
Can be manipulated and/or be a breakdown if recording the information accurately. There is no checks and balances and if there is they are not consistent nor verified in many instances.
-
Brings certainty that the transactions/entries on the blockchaing have been verified and there is no central authority who can manipulate it or make an error.
Confidence!

Question 3. Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
Trust in business is crucial for economic growth, but advances in technology bring with it problems of authenticity. As hackers become more and more adept at counterfeiting digital products, digital provenance provides a platform for trust less supply chain data, academic research, User authentication and digital goods, blockchain technology provides business with the tools to confidently review the legitimacy or provenance of a digital asset or product, building trust business to business, as well as building a confident consumer base.

Normal database is not decentralized. It needs trust in the system so it leaves the possibility to be manipulated. -
Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
It can help businesses to be more transparent. For example their supply chain could be transparent through a blockchain. It reduces illegal or questionable behaviour of industries (clothing industry) and brings value to companies that are transparent.

1, All information entering the blockchain cannot be changed or deleted, there is no third party involved, there is a whole chain of computer that has the existing blockchain which makes it impossible to go into it unnoticed.
2, In a normal database information are stored in multiple sources or platforms, there is a lot of trust involved and it would take a lot of work to verify. It is also subjected to human error or manipulation.
3, There is no need to be anywhere physically, all information are available in one source that can be trusted and verified, you can potentially reach out to anyone in a supply chain involved.
By having everything in the same place, all information are stored in one transaction for finance or for other use cases it all can be tracked down to each stage and participants of the end product. it all becomes trustless by all this information are out there to be verified that can save a lot of labour and money,

The immutability of blockchain removes the possibility that provenance and attached records can be changed after the fact or created by someone unauthorized to do so.
- Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
Databases involve external systems of trust as particular users have permissions to create records, but others don’t. Also, records can be lost through system failures and altered by sysadmins or hackers gaining sysadmin access to the records.
- Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
A lot of personal knowledge, optimism bias and the availability heuristic cause businesses to miscalculate the risks involved with a particular vendor or product. Digital provenance can attach an immutable record to a particular batch of a product, never mind the possibilities of aggregating the results of thousands of such batches or the track record of a particular vendor across all their products.

How does Blockchain enable provenance?
All transactions are immutable once verified. Transactions on a blockchain can be traced as it’s a public ledger. -
Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
The supply chain is far more opaque. Items can’t be traced as easily and the system is based too much on trust.
Centralised databases are vulnerable to manipulation and potential hacking. -
Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
Goods are able to be tracked in real-time which makes the distribution process far more efficient.

- Blockchain permanently records transactions in order and secures the order with unbreakable cryptography. This ensures that the audit record shows all and every transaction in order, and this secures the digital provenance.
- A normal database cannot secure the order of transactions and the transactions like the blockchain.
- Digital provenance proves an audit trail and this is normally very expensive to get.

How does blockchain enable digital provenance?- Blockchain transactions cannot be erased and remain transparent by allowing accessibility to the public ledger. Once the transaction is confirmed, it cannot be tampered with.
-
Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?- Normal databases can be altered after the transaction has been completed or confirmed. This leaves the ability for the ledger to be manipulated. This system is not trustworthy.
-
Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?- Digital provenance is transparent so that the business would not have the ability to shelter information. Accounting processes and supply chains could be simultaneously tracked to eliminate the need for additional work. Digital provenance increases trust by eliminating the ability to alter the ledger.

In a normal database data can be removed or edited. But not on blockchain. -
Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
Because there are many things that we need to implicitly trust, for example the food labels, the origin of clothes etc. Digital provenance removes the trust to implicitly trust things, thus adds more transparency.

- blockchain utilizes a network of computer to verify if the transaction did happen along with the date and location
- because it cannot be independently verified; hence the need of existing audit process
- digital provenance will help create and speed up the trust among the worldwide community as well as lowering the cost from needing to be verified. And it will be recorded in a way that it cannot be disputed.

- Through an immutable, shared and verifiable historical ledger.
- Because unlike blockchain where the stored data cannot be changed, a normal database is more prone to falsification.
- It eliminates the need for an auditor thus reducing costs.
