Common use of Provenance Clause in Contracts

Provenance. describes the source of the Content Information, who has had custody of it since its origination, and its history (including processing history). Context describes how the Content Information relates to other information outside the Information Package. For example, it would describe why the Content Information was produced, and it may include a description of how it relates to another Content Information object that is available. Reference provides one or more identifiers, or systems of identifiers, by which the Content Information may be uniquely identified. Examples include an ISBN number for a book, or a set of attributes that distinguish one instance of Content Information from another. Fixity provides a wrapper, or protective shield, that protects the Content Information from undocumented alteration. For example, it may involve a checksum over the Content Information of a digital Information Package. Much of the PDI content is included in national and international metadata standards. If it is already available for the data set, it can be referenced rather than being included in every SIP. Similarly, the Representation Information may be available separately and can also be referenced rather than included in every SIP. Figure 6.1-2. Obtaining Information from Data in an OAIS
