Methods and apparatus to determine provenance for data supply chains

An apparatus to generate a data supply chain object, the apparatus comprising:

• data structure generator circuitry to, in response to data being generated, generate a local data object and object metadata corresponding to the data;
• encryptor circuitry to:
• hash the local data object;
• and
• generate a hash of a label of the local data object;
• the data structure generator circuitry to:
• generate a hierarchical data structure for the data including the hash of the local data object and the hash of the label of the local data object;
• generate a data supply chain object including the hierarchical data structure;
• and
• add a tool to the data supply chain object, the tool for transforming the data;
• and
• an interface to transmit the data and the data supply chain object to a device that requested access to the data.

An apparatus to generate a data supply chain object, the apparatus including:

• means for generating a local data object and object metadata corresponding to data in response to the data being generated;
• means for hashing, the means for hashing to:
• hash the local data object;
• and
• hash a label of the local data object;
• wherein the means for generating is to:
• generate a hierarchical data structure for the data including the hash of the local data object and the hash of the label of the local data object;
• add a tool to the data supply chain object, the tool for transforming the data;
• and
• generate a data supply chain object including the hierarchical data structure;
• and
• means for transmitting the data and the data supply chain object to a device that requested access to the data.

An apparatus to generate a data supply chain object, the apparatus comprising:

• processor circuitry;
• and
• a memory including instructions which, when executed, cause the processor circuitry to:
• in response to data being generated, generate a local data object and object metadata corresponding to the data;
• hash the local data object;
• generate a hash of a label of the local data object;
• generate a hierarchical data structure for the data including the hash of the local data object and the hash of the label of the local data object;
• generate a data supply chain object including the hierarchical data structure;
• add a tool to the data supply chain object, the tool for transforming the data;
• and
• transmit the data and the data supply chain object to a device that requested access to the data.
