Goals as proposed for roadmap (Kristin)

• define minimum requirements for the data model
• finalize the data model (diagram)
  so that it works with only minor modifications for all our use cases
  including VODML-compliant representation (e.g. using Modelio, Magic Draw)
• have the draft out as official working draft
  • structure of the draft
  • rewrite a concise introduction : AI: Mathieu: goals , provenance definition of term in our context, how it is inserted in context ( what it is not ( Wflow), previous efforts, insert architecture section
  • including minimum requirements
    • what is needed and reused from W3C : W3C Core
  • including a section on serialising the data model
  • including a section on accessing provenance data

• get the progenitors for a specified dataset (entity) give me the history, activities and progenitors for a particular entity responsibility view for the agent : who was involved for this activity / for this entity get me the activities execution status and activity description
  • AI all: question to answer: is Activity description part of the model or part of the implementation
  • should we plan diff levels of detail?
  • details levels : basic, detailed, full?? it is up to the applications and access services --> AI Mireille? all ?: iterate to reformulate more simply
  • AI Kristin : rewrite 1.2.4
    
  • AI François add in Previous efforts / IPAW International Provenance Annotation Workshop community
• Assign sections to various writers and decide a deadline: end of July?
• work out relations between SimDM and ProvDM
  • – (have at least one use case worked out with both models)
