Method for Ensuring Transparency of Data Provenance in a Data Processing Chain - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18034121 titled 'Method for Ensuring Transparency of Data Provenance in a Data Processing Chain

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for ensuring transparency of data provenance in a data processing chain.

  • Data processing chain consists of multiple processing components that process source data to generate result data.
  • Each processing component is assigned a globally unique data identifier.
  • Result data, including the identifier and information about the source data, is transmitted to a data manager when a processing component processes the source data.
  • The goal is to maintain transparency and traceability of data provenance throughout the processing chain.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for ensuring transparency of data provenance in a data processing chain are provided. A data processing chain includes a plurality of processing components. Each of the plurality of processing components is configured to process source data to generate result data. A globally unique data identifier is assigned to each of the processing components. In response to a processing component processing source data, result data is transmitted to a data manager. The result data includes information about a globally unique identifier assigned to the processing component and information about the source data.
