  • R1.2: Metadata and data are associated with detailed provenance

    https://www.w3.org/TR/prov-dm/#dfn-provenance

    # Component 1: Entities/Activities:
    Type: Entity
    Type: Activity
    Relation: Generation/Invalidation (E-Act)
    Relation: Usage (Act-E)
    Relation: Communication (Act1-[E]-Act2)

    Relation: Trigger/Starter of Start of Act (trigger E, starter Act)
    Relation: Trigger/Ender of End of Act End of Act (trigger E, ender Act)


    # Component 2: Derivations:
    Relation: Derivation (E-E, E-Act)

    Relation: Revision (E-E)
    Relation: Quotation (E-E)
    Relation: Primary Source (E-E)

    # Component3 : Agents, Responsibility, and Influence
    Type: Agent
    Relation: Attribution (E-Agt)
    Relation: Association (Act-Agt (role), Act-E (plan))
    Relation: Delegation (Agt-Act) - acted on behalf of

    Relation: Influencer/Influencee ({E,Act,Agt}-[usage,start,end,generation,invalidation,communication,derviation,attribution,association,delgation]-{E,Act,Agt})

    3 core types: entities, activities, agents. “instantaneous events” are put in context of activities.
    wrt "time instants":
    - generation is at instant of completion of production
    - usage is at instant of beginning of utilization
    - start, when activity is deemed started, is an instant
    - end, when activity is deemed ended, is an instant
    - invalidation is at instant of start of destruction, cessation, or expiry

    10 influencing relations (not including 3 included subtypes of derivation - (1) [was] revision [of], (2) quotation ("was quoted from"), (3) [had] primary source).
