Title Overview and Status of the W3C Provenance Recommendations
Abstract Provenance refers to the origins of digital data. Technically, provenance is described by the entities and activities involved in producing and delivering or otherwise influencing a given object. The W3C Provenance Working Group's mission is to support the widespread publication and use of provenance information of Web documents, data, and resources. It is charted to develop recommendations for the interchange of provenance information on the Web. In this talk, I give an overview of the PROV specifications being developed by the working group and how they can be used to represent provenance information. In addition, I will provide a status update of our progress towards a final standard recommendation as well as forthcoming implementations.
