Abstract

Blockchain is considered to be the key technology to lead the transformation of Information Internet to Value Internet. More and more organizations are exploring the industry applications of blockchain, and how to apply blockchain in data management has become one of the focuses of discussion. This article focuses on blockchain and provides a detailed analysis on its core components, technologies and applications. Then, combs the problems faced by data management in quality, security, sharing and so on, and analyzes the application advantages of blockchain technology in data management, and put forwards a data collaborative management model based on blockchain, which has the characteristics of decentralization, collective maintenance, automatic execution, and non-tamperable. The model covers user authentication, data verification, data logging, data sharing and other processes, and is equipped with a data management incentive system, which can achieve convenient, secure and fast data management. Applying blockchain technology to data management can further improve the effectiveness of data management and improve the quality of data, and create a positive data sharing environment.
