Provenance-Aware Query Processing

Provenance-Aware Query Processing involves tracking the origins and history of data involved in a database query. It records where data came from, how it has been transformed, and its source, enabling users to understand the trustworthiness and context of the information. This process helps in auditing, verifying data accuracy, and debugging, especially when dealing with complex or large datasets. Essentially, it adds transparency by associating each piece of data with its source and history, ensuring that the insights derived are trustworthy and traceable.
