IPAPI: Designing an Improved Provenance API
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the main limitations imposed by existing provenance systems in the development of provenanceaware applications. In the case of disclosed provenance APIs, most of those limitations can be traced back to the inability to integrate provenance from different sources, layers and of different granularities into a coherent view of data production. We consider possible solutions in the design of an Improved Provenance API (IPAPI), based on a general model of how different system entities interact to generate, accumulate or propagate provenance. The resulting architecture enables a whole new range of provenance capture scenarios, for which available APIs do not provide adequate support.

Data Provenance Architecture Supporting Environmental Monitoring Processes
Long-term research and environmental monitoring are essential for the improved management of ecosystems and natural resources. However, to reuse this data for new experiments, decision-making processes, and integrate these data with other long-term initiatives, scientists need more information related to data creation and its evolution, intellectual property rights, and technical information in...
متن کاملMinimal-invasive provenance integration into data-intensive systems
The purpose of provenance is to determine origin and derivation history of data. Thus, provenance is used, for instance, to validate and explain computation results. Due to the digitalization of previously analog processes that consume data from heterogeneous sources and increasing complexity of respective systems, it is a challenging task to validate computation results. To face this challenge...

Provenance is a record that describes the people, institutions, entities, and activities involved in producing, influencing, or delivering a piece of data or a thing. The W3C Provenance Working group has just published the prov family of specifications, which include a data model for provenance on the Web. The working group introduces a notion of valid prov document whose intent is to ensure th...
متن کاملManaging Provenance in Scientific Workflows with ProvManager
Running scientific workflows in distributed environments is motivating the definition of provenance gathering approaches that are loosely coupled to the workflow systems. We have proposed a provenance gathering strategy that is independent from workflow system technology. This strategy has evolved into a provenance management system named ProvManager. The main principle is that each workflow ac...
