ProvDAL (refers to provdal.pdf)

  • Page 5:
    • ID: can be of an entity, activity or an agent
    • Default value for DEPTH is one
    • Question: Must ALL keyword be implemented in a service? For instance, could a service set ALL as a redirect to 1?
      • General opinion here is that implementing ALL is required for the server.
    • Members of a Collection is only tracked if MEMBERS keyword is set to TRUE.
    • In the same way, singuar steps of an ActivityFlow is only tracked if STEPS keyword is set to TRUE.
    • The hierarchical relationships between activities and ActivityFlow as well as entities and Collections are counted in the DEPTH number of relations.
    • AGENT - better keyword or options -
      • AGENT = EXPLORE, AGENT = ENDPOINT
      • or EXPLORE-AGENT, TRACKAGENT set to TRUE or FALSE
      • leave as it is but open to discussion
    • FORMAT default is set to JSON.
  • Page 4:
    • The relationship between members of collection or of the activity flow is of hierarcical nature and not to be treated in the same way as a resposibility relation.
  • Page 3:
    • Suggestion: format can be specified via the HTTP accept header which is common practice for HTTP services wget -d --header="Accept: application/json" {provdal-base-url}?ID=rave:dr4
    • will be discussed further
    • W3C has implementation, has to be checked
    • (W3C) clients communicate for example via json and expect this specific format back
Prov draft (refers to rev4224 of ProvenanceDM.pdf)
  • Reference implementations are to be put into the wiki - RFC page -
    • django.prov_vo, voprov-python, OPUS UWS Server
    • Implementation notes
  • Section 6 - use cases, examples, how to use the model
    • exists in parts, must be expanded
    • usecases
  • ProvTAP: is it part of the standard or optional?
    • maybe not mature enough
    • should be part of the standard and
    • ProvTAP needs more explanation, TAP-VOTABLE is not PROV-VOTABLE and has to be mapped
    • how to convert it to VOTABLE
    • Section 6.5 - addition of ProvTAP in the text
  • Section 4.1 - new structure - how to structure the VOTABLE and how to map the data model into the VOTABLE
    • 4.1.1 - W3C
    • 4.1.2 - VOTABLE
    • 4.1.3 - description serialization
  • Separate document for VOTABLE description?
    • Will be proposed by Francois and Mireille
  • Entity description will be expanded
    • link to the published entity - does it have to be covered in the draft?
    • EntityDescpription is what you know about the entity before the entity is produced.
