| Abstract |
As a new PhD student, I will start the presentation by introducing
myself and my background. The rest of the presentation will be about
my current research topic: reconstructing provenance.
The provenance of a data item is the metadata describing how, when and
by whom the data item was produced. Provenance is crucial in order to
assess authenticity, enable trust and allow reproducibility. Most
current provenance management systems assume that provenance is fully
tracked, for example by instrumenting appropriately the software in use.
In practice, this rarely happens, leading to incomplete or missing
provenance trails.
The aim of my current and future work is to research approaches to
reconstructing provenance. As a starting
point, I am currently considering the reconstruction of the dependency
chains between documents in a shared folder. For example, how can we
detect which document was created using information contained in
another document?
In this presentation, I will introduce the problem and give an overview
of related work. |
