How It Works
Text provenance
A verifiable record of where a piece of text came from and what happened to it: who created or published it, which tools were used and whether it was edited. Provenance can help readers assess authenticity, but it does not by itself prove that a claim is true.
Origin · no single documented coiner
'Provenance' is an older term for an object's documented history. The Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity extended its technical standard to unstructured text through work led by its Text Provenance Task Force; there is no single coiner for the general phrase.
