At or Near Final Calls on W3C Provenance

Filed under: HTML,Provenance — Patrick Durusau @ 7:48 pm

I saw a notice today about the ontology part of the W3C work on provenance. Some of it is at final call or nearly so. If you are interested, see:

  • PROV-DM, the PROV data model for provenance;
  • PROV-CONSTRAINTS, a set of constraints applying to the PROV data model;
  • PROV-N, a notation for provenance aimed at human consumption;
  • PROV-O, the PROV ontology, an OWL2 ontology allowing the mapping of PROV to RDF;
  • PROV-AQ, the mechanisms for accessing and querying provenance;
  • PROV-PRIMER, a primer for the PROV data model.

My first impression is the provenance work is more complex than HTML 3.2 and therefore unlikely to see widespread adoption. (You may want to bookmark that link. It isn’t listed on the HTML page at the W3C, even under obsolete versions.)
