Provenance Tracking

Provenance tracking refers to the process of tracing the origin and history of an item, information, or data throughout its lifecycle. This is important in various fields, such as art, food, and data management, as it helps establish authenticity, ownership, and quality. For instance, in the food industry, provenance tracking allows consumers to know where their food comes from, how it was produced, and its journey to the store. In data management, it ensures that users can verify the sources and transformations of information, promoting trust and accountability.
