Introduction

In the twenty first century, the economy and the business sector is evolving due to the generation of huge information that also enhances the ideas of academics with prolonged perspective, individual information necessitates an efficient management scheme and it required high end structure (Ye et al., 2020). The management and effective usage of information getting huge attention among the researcher’s whereas significant insights are generated from the processed information system. The user interest identification and the generation of efficient recommendation system is commenced from the proficient maintenance of information generated from diverse sources (Hinrichsen et al., 2020).

The reliable and efficient information are acquired quickly and maintained reliable by the Blockchain technology. This will efficiently remove the manual search process of information, classification of data, indexing mechanism and data acquisition to automated management of information via intelligent schemes (Polyzotis et al., 2017). The management of information is evolved initially from the educational field where the conceptual framework is necessary for the maintenance of information about the people in the organization. The main intent of developing an information management scheme is to formulate the significant information for future utilization (Sun et al., 2018).

Data the executives is a novel worldview to advance and set up the obtain information from assorted assets. Through, powerful data the executives plans it give help to the person to consolidate a by and large available scope of sources with the data age instruments (Muthuveloo et al., 2017). This makes the rise of valuable information and data. Actually, data can enhance, incorporate the data assets and advance the serious expertise among the businesses. The applied engineering of data the board will consolidate data from different source and it is considered as a huge part in the administration of data. Data the board is a methodology of identification, acquisition, advancement, utilization, assessment, and sharing for information (Hadjimichael &Tsoukas, 2019).

The meaning of data the executive’s framework requires the effective data stockpiling, handling and support component. This highlight is refined by the Blockchain innovation (Yaga et al., 2019). Blockchain is an arising record list called as squares that is connected with the instrument f cryptography. Each square holds a cryptographic based hash capacity of the previous square, exchange data and timestamp. The timestamp guarantees that the exchange data accessible when the square of information is created to get into the hash work (Pilkington et al., 2016).

Every block encompasses an information about the preceding block and it generate a chain structure (Treleaven et al., 2017).The blocks in the Blockchain is resistant to the alteration because once the information is stored, then it cannot be modified retroactively without modifying all the succeeding block of information. Generally, every block in the Blockchain is maintained by the P2P network and utilises the publicly accessible ledgers. Although, the information in the blocks remain unaltered and it is considered as a secure mechanism by design (Efanov & Roschin, 2018). The adoption of Blockchain in the information management system across diverse field is detailed in this article.

The rest of the paper is coordinated as follows: the job and execution of data the executives framework is definite in Section 2, the blockchain based data the board framework is given in Section 3, utilizations of data the executives by using blockchain is portrayed in Section 4, challenges in the appropriation of data the executives is given in Section 5 and the article is finished up with future idea in Section 5.

Implementation And Role Of Information Management System

Information management system plays a prominent role in the modern environment, and it is widely utilized by numerous fields. It denotes the digital application, hardware, utilities in internet, and communication system. It also incorporated in the business, industry, and educational institution that is utilized in the notion of big data and information management (Efanov & Roschin, 2018). Generally, information management system discusses and examines the processes information deployed and incorporated to confirm the appropriate system to acquire the effective retrieval of information.

The computational power of distinct technologies are still important and it is complicated than the accessibility and dissemination of information regulated by the system. This is considered as a huge significance to the researchers of information related studies. The information management system is a generic form that encompasses workflow of business, data retrieval, storage and access. The overall framework of information management system is displayed in Figure 1.

In Figure 1, the information retrieval from data source and digital assets are processed and retrieved by the information retrieval strategies. The information are acquired from user, business and third party application.

Typically, numerous information management system is incorporated in diverse disciplines and the encompassed application vary. For example, geographic data is involved in collection, organization, manipulation and storing the information of street information, boundaries of property, longitude and latitude of coordinate points. Health related information delivers utilities for medical experts to exchange the information securely and safely about the patients to relevant parties, authentication and progression of identification approaches to confirm all the parties involved in medical system (Zhong et al., 2016).

Incorporation of Blockchain permits the healthcare system that holds the health record of patient is shared through diverse entities in a decentralized way while it ensures the integrity and security of the information. Management of information system necessitates the understanding of workflow of complicated business and behavior of human to ensure simple access of business platforms. This is utilized and established for the transmission of information to relevant parties (Ancker et al., 2015). Investigation of interdependent correlation provide assistance in promoting the interoperability among applications and users. This eventually determines the tools or application that is utilized in information transmission among the system.

The complications in the adoption of robust applications or alterations in the structure of those applications occurs in the management of information is a complicate process. The tendency of the robust users of any information system rejects and resists the alteration in the management system. This resistance is predominant in the issues namely information perception, indentation or unindentation in the updates or new system that utilizes time-consuming, complicate or otherwise disagreeable for the involved parties in the information system (Turner et al., 2015). The prominent and ubiquitous utilization of information management across various fields, employing to enhance them and confirm the function at the ultimate performance by utilizing the most effectively and readily accessible by the significant technology (Sundram et al., 2018).

Information management system is incorporated in a unique way and exceptionally diverse, every management approach has drawbacks and benefits. Numerous information management systems are incorporated for the management of relational databases that is the primary solution for the asset storage. Databases are handled through numerous tools and applications due to the huge capacity of storage, recovery features, query recovering speed and logging. Generally, database maintenance is attained by applications namely, MySQL, Microsoft SQL server, PostgreSQL and MySQL. Every management system offers certain features and gives the information access. Traditional approaches face certain issues in terms of retrieval maintenance and security.

Applications or programming programs that utilize promptly accessible information are frequently the objective of data frameworks. Whether presenting this data to a bunch of clients in some structure or another, creating a yield item from this data, or otherwise controlling the data introduced, applications that influence the robotization accessible through data systems are basically essential to organizations, offices, or different establishments as the consequence of their works. Applications that can use the full capability of data frameworks are fit for giving a competitive edge to the business or office that created it by integrating all parts of the interaction into one single utility to guarantee no perspectives are disregarded or in any case left inadequate (Jose & Abraham, 2020).

Blockchain Technology In Information Management System

The term Blockchain is arrived from the Bitcoin technology and the overall architecture is shown in Figure 2. Basically, Blockchain technology is a database system distributed over the peer-to-peer network. In this system, data transmitted across the network is packed as blocks by the miner nodes and the association among the nodes is accomplished by the hash operations (Zahid et al., 2018; Berentsen, 2019). As illustrated in Figure 1, the whole original block of data is encompassed of body and header of a block. The body of the block holds the details of every transaction and whole merkle tree. Hence, every transaction can be queries or traced. The header of the block holds the metadata that is utilized in the process of identification. Metadata is mainly categorized as three significant groups of metadata (Li et al., 2017; Lei et al., 2018; Lu, 2018; Firdaus, 2020). The details of every block and their structure are given in Table 1.

Table 1 Data Structure Of Block In Blockchain
Type	Item	Function	Description
Block Header	Hash	Identification of block	The hash value of the block is utilized  as a current block identifier
	Prev Block Hash	The hash pointer is used in the historical information retrieval	The parent block hash value is used to denote the previous block point
	Nonce	The appropriate significant data of PoW (Proof of Work)	The process and value utilized in PoW is necessary for the identification of nonce that meet the necessities
	Difficulty	The appropriate significant data of PoW (Proof of Work)	The block with difficulty target PoW value
	Timestamp	The appropriate significant data of PoW (Proof of Work)	Approximates the time and generates the miner block
Block Body	Digital Signature	Safeguards the trade blocks and transactions	The encryption based digital signature mechanism utilized for verifying the integrity and authenticity of data
	Merkle Tree	Verify the exactness of every transaction in the data block	Merkle tree is a kind of binary tree that is generated by hashes for every transaction proficiently verify the huge data integrity

A whole system of blockchain encompasses numerous technologies namely proof-of-work mechanism, timestamp, digital signature and consensus techniques (Cachin, 2016; Ampel et al., 2019; Cui & Guin, 2019; Skulimowski, 2021). This system has the characteristics as follows:

• Decentralization: The entire network depends on the organization of management and centralized hardware.
• Reliable Databases: Every node in the blockchain holds whole set of information and node destruction at any point will not influence the integrity of the data in the whole database.
• Maintenance of collective resource: The entire network is maintained by the nodes in the blockchain and the malicious nodes in the network are ineffective in tampering the historical data.
• Credentials of security: Once the information in the system is verified, then it will be permanently stored in the database of the blockchain, and it cannot be tampered.
• Anonymity: Every node in the blockchain follows a fixed technique and the exposure of party’s information is not necessary.

As indicated by different setting of use the movement of blockchain is ordered into three phases that is blockchain 1.0 for Bitcoin that is virtual digital currency, blockchain2.0 for the arrangement of keen agreements that is used for business and blockchain 3.0 for monetary industry. In view of the innovation of blockchain the data the board framework and their discernibility are shown in Figure 3 and the capacity of each hub in blockchain is itemized in Table 2.

In the Figure 3, the data generated from diverse sources are depicted and management of that information across different block of node is given in Table 2.
