Provenance Week 2018/ Conference in London

Participants from our group

• Anastasia Galkin (poster presentation here)
• Ole Streicher
• Michèle Sanguillon
• Mathieu Servillat

Topics discussed

ProvONE extension to PROV for workflows(simplify to our needs), instead of AbstractActivity/AbstractEntity

prov:Plan for the ActivityDescription (instead of prov:Bundle)

see Process/Program from ProvONE and UNICORE (poster for HPC workflows)

Subclass Parameter from Entity (see UNICORE poster)

Focus on Entities rather than on Activities (descriptions as a Plan, i.e. an Entity)

Triple Store, Neo4j...

SPADE: tool to capture provenance in an OS

Provenance Patterns (RDA)

python-prov may handle extensions (like ProvOne), if done correctly; we may derive from it ( not cut&paste) to include our extensions (votable handling, ProvOne etc.)
