This volume brings together a multidisciplinary group of scholars
from diverse fields including computer science, engineering,
archival science, law, business, psychology, economics, medicine
and more to discuss the trade-offs between different "layers" in
designing the use of blockchain/Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)
for social trust, trust in data and records, and trust in systems.
Blockchain technology has emerged as a solution to the problem of
trust in data and records, as well as trust in social, political
and economic institutions, due to its profound potential as a
digital trust infrastructure. Blockchain is a DLT in which
confirmed and validated sets of transactions are stored in blocks
that are chained together to make tampering more difficult and
render records immutable. This book is dedicated to exploring and
disseminating the latest findings on the relationships between
socio-political and economic data, record-keeping, and technical
aspects of blockchain.

This book reports on the results of an interdisciplinary and
multidisciplinary workshop on provenance that brought together
researchers and practitioners from different areas such as archival
science, law, information science, computing, forensics and visual
analytics that work at the frontiers of new knowledge on
provenance. Each of these fields understands the meaning and
purpose of representing provenance in subtly different ways. The
aim of this book is to create cross-disciplinary bridges of
understanding with a view to arriving at a deeper and clearer
perspective on the different facets of provenance and how
traditional definitions and applications may be enriched and
expanded via an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary synthesis.
This volume brings together all of these developments, setting out
an encompassing vision of provenance to establish a robust
framework for expanded provenance theory, standards and
technologies that can be used to build trust in financial and other
types of information.

With over 100 right to information (RTI) laws also called freedom
of information or access to information laws now in place globally,
the groundwork has been laid to advance more transparent,
accountable and inclusive governance as a pathway to poverty
reduction and economic development.
Searching for Trust explores the intersection of trust,
disinformation, and blockchain technology in an age of heightened
institutional and epistemic mistrust. It adopts a unique archival
theoretic lens to delve into how computational information
processing has gradually supplanted traditional record keeping,
putting at risk a centuries-old tradition of the 'moral defense of
the record' and replacing it with a dominant ethos of
information-processing efficiency. The author argues that focusing
on information-processing efficiency over the defense of records
against manipulation and corruption (the ancient task of the
recordkeeper) has contributed to a diminution of the
trustworthiness of information and a rise of disinformation, with
attendant destabilization of the epistemic trust fabric of
societies. Readers are asked to consider the potential and
limitations of blockchains as the technological embodiment of the
moral defense of the record and as means to restoring societal
trust in an age of disinformation.
