Provenance assertions are a > form of contextual metadata and can themselves become important records with > their own provenance." > --Provenance XG Final Report > > 2012 will be a watershed year for provenance/annotation research. Under the > stewardship of the World Wide Web Consortium, the global community of > provenance practitioners is converging on standardized definitions, models, > representations, and protocols for provenance. An infrastructure may soon be > in place that could potentially support universal access to the provenance of > online artifacts. The time is ripe to explore the implications of ubiquitous > provenance. > > Provenance is understood to be a critical component of information > trustworthiness; indeed, much provenance research has been motivated by the > vision of Tim Berners-Lee's "Oh, yeah?" button for accessing the metadata of > a web resource. Provenance is also increasingly understood to be essential to > scientific reproducibility—the provenance and annotation of a digital > scientific artifact often fulfills the same function that a paper notebook > did for earlier laboratory experiments. In many cases provenance offers the > only coherent picture of ad-hoc digital workflows. Provenance is also a > requirement for long-term preservation of digital information. > > The spread of automatic systems for provenance capture and management will > allow provenance to be associated with digital artifacts whose complexity > (e.g., social networks) or volume (e.g., environmental satellite data) would > make manual annotation prohibitive. Furthermore, the availability of large > corpora provenance records is enabling research into automatic exploration of > and reasoning about provenance. > > This workshop builds on a successful line of provenance and annotation > workshops (http://www.ipaw.info/). > > *Topics* > > The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers into all aspects > of information provenance and annotation. In particular, IPAW 2012 seeks > participation from researchers who are developing standards and services for > the representation and communication of provenance, and who are implementing > provenance in active data analysis and management environments. > > Topics of interest for IPAW 2012 include: > > - Standardization of provenance models, services, and representations > - Provenance management architectures and techniques > - Use cases for provenance > - Analytic provenance and the relationship between provenance and > visualization > - Provenance and the semantic web > - Human interpretation of provenance > - Security and privacy implications of provenance > - Legal applications of provenance > - Integration of provenance into existing information management architectures > - Provenance and social media > - Provenance and its relationship to annotation and metadata > - Scalability of provenance architectures > - Relationships between provenance and workflow > - Machine learning for and from provenance > - Provenance and digital curation > - Reasoning about provenance > - Provenance implications for trust and authenticity > - Publishing provenance > - Querying provenance > - Provenance management system prototypes and commercial solutions > > *Important Dates* > > - Abstracts Due: March 16, 2012 > - Papers Due: March 23, 2012 > - Notification of Acceptance: April 20, 2012 > - Conference: June 19-21 2012. > > *Conference Chairs* > James Frew - University of California, Santa Barbara > Paul Groth - VU University Amsterdam > > Program Committee: http://ipaw2012.bren.ucsb.edu/index.php/Program_Committee > > *Submissions* > > -Research Papers- > > Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are > not under review for publication elsewhere.
