The present research investigated the different characteristics of data provenance. Provenance means “the origin” or “lineage”. It provides authenticity to the user. Secure provenance that records ownership and process history of data objects is essential to the success of data. In this paper we create taxonomy of data provenance techniques, and apply the classification to current research efforts in the field. The main aspect of our taxonomy categorizes provenance systems based on why they record provenance, what they describe, how they represent and store provenance, and ways to disseminate it. Our synthesis can help those building scientific and business metadata-management systems to understand existing provenance system designs. The survey culminates with an identification of open research problems in the field.
