On Explicit Provenance Management in RDF/S Graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The notion of RDF Named Graphs has been proposed in order to assign provenance information to data described using RDF triples. In this paper, we argue that named graphs alone cannot capture provenance information in the presence of RDFS reasoning and updates. In order to address this problem, we introduce the notion of RDF/S Graphsets: a graphset is associated with a set of RDF named graphs and contain the triples that are jointly owned by the named graphs that constitute the graphset. We formalize the notions of RDF named graphs and RDF/S graphsets and propose query and update languages that can be used to handle provenance information for RDF/S graphs taking into account RDFS semantics.

Coloring RDF Triples to Capture Provenance
Recently, the W3C Linking Open Data effort has boosted the publication and inter-linkage of large amounts of RDF datasets on the Semantic Web. Various ontologies and knowledge bases with millions of RDF triples from Wikipedia and other sources, mostly in e-science, have been created and are publicly available. Recording provenance information of RDF triples aggregated from different heterogeneo...
متن کاملProvenance Context Entity (PaCE): Scalable Provenance Tracking for Scientific RDF Data
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) format is being used by a large number of scientific applications to store and disseminate their datasets. The provenance information, describing the source or lineage of the datasets, is playing an increasingly significant role in ensuring data quality, computing trust value of the datasets, and ranking query results. Current provenance tracking approac...
متن کاملPosition paper: Named Graphs in Linked Data
Named graphs are likely to be at the forefront of any future revisions of the RDF data model. The ability to assert metadata about a graph is essential to provenance tracking, access control, and overall data management in the Semantic Web domain. If named graphs were to be incorporated into RDF, it follows that Linked Data would support named graphs at a basic level. This paper investigates po...
متن کاملNamed Graphs as a Mechanism for Reasoning About Provenance
Named Graphs is a simple, compatible extension to the RDF abstract syntax that enables statements to be made about RDF graphs. This approach is in contrast to earlier attempts such as RDF reification, or knowledge-base specific extensions including quads and contexts. In this paper we demonstrate the use of Named Graphs and our experiences developing new kinds of semantic web application that b...
متن کاملDynamic Provenance for SPARQL Update
While the Semantic Web currently can exhibit provenance information by using the W3C PROV standards, there is a “missing link” in connecting PROV to storing and querying for dynamic changes to RDF graphs using SPARQL. Solving this problem would be required for such clear use-cases as the creation of version control systems for RDF. While some provenance models and annotation techniques for stor...
