Hello All,
I'd like to add a bit to your holiday reading by pointing you to the W3C
Provenance Incubator Groups final report.
Provenance XG Final Report
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/prov/XGR-prov-20101214/
The report highlights the requirements for provenance for the web and
semantic web and organizes the current state of the art. A key part of
the report is a roadmap for provenance on the web.
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/prov/XGR-prov-20101214/#A_Roadmap_for_Provenance_on_the_Web
Concretely, it recommends the formation of a Provenance Interchange
Working Group focused on developing a *simple* common standard to
interchange and access provenance leveraging existing provenance
vocabularies and ontologies.
I would be great to hear your thoughts on this proposal.
Thanks,
Paul
