Content Provenance refers to the facts about the history of a piece of digital content assets (image, video, audio recording, document).
Technical specifications were released in 2022 by the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA Content Credentials).
Data provenance refers to a documented trail that accounts for the origin of a piece of data and where it has moved from to where it is presently. The purpose of data provenance is to tell developers the origin, changes to, and details supporting the confidence or validity of data. The concept of provenance guarantees that data creators are transparent about their work -- where it came from and the chain of information where data can be tracked as data is used and adapted for their own purposes.
