Prov Concepts Sample Clauses

Prov Concepts. ‌ Provenance is the information about who was involved in producing something, the ac- tivities that took place and entities that were involved. The W3C PROV working group have defined a family of documents that describes the concepts in this domain and two in particular have been used in the development of the provenance and traceability work in INTO-CPS. The provenance ontology (PROV-O)33 defines the concepts that are repre- sented by PROV and this heavily influenced the construction of our traceability ontology presented later (Section| A.4). Alongside this the provenance notation (PROV-N)34 has been used to produce concrete examples of the provenance data that would need to be recorded and from this we obtain the majority of the graphical views in this ap- pendix. In the following subsections we will present the main concepts of PROV-O, focussing on their relations and present examples in both the PROV-N notation and graphical form.
