Jacek,

A colleague of mine from the NVO project shared this interesting document
on provenance (below).  I've only just skimmed it, thus far, but it seems
that the author's primary use case is to be able to store this information
so that it can be queried.  I haven't yet seen any explicit reference to
our use case of using provenance data for recreation of data, but I can
imagine that it is "in scope" of their goals if it is not there primary
concern.

Anyway, while I don't want to suggest that "we just use this" (as I 
wouldn't know what that would mean), you might find it helpful in 
informing how to structure such information in a database.  

cheers,
Ray
