Provenance Metadata

Provenance metadata refers to the information about the origins and history of a piece of data or an object. It details where the data came from, how it was created, and any changes it underwent over time. This helps to establish its credibility and authenticity, allowing users to understand the context and reliability of the information. In essence, provenance metadata acts like a detailed record or lineage, ensuring transparency and trust in the data's use, whether in research, art, or any other field.
