- 9. Why data provenancematters, if done right • To establish quality, relevance, trust • To track information attribution through complex transformations • To describe one’s experiment to others, for understanding / reuse • To provide evidence in support of scientific claims • To enable post hoc process analysis for improvement, re-design The W3C Incubator on Provenance has been collecting numerous use cases: http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/prov/wiki/Use_Cases# Linköping, Sweden -- January 2010 Sunday, 13 March 2011
- 10. Goals, expected contributions • Established technology provider - open-source – traditionally active in the bioinf space – but also involved in the e-Lico EU project (data mining portal) – large community base, established production environment • Main goal: – to offer our workflow and workflow repository technology, put it to the test on the challenges of data preservation pipelines • Challenges: – expect new requirements on our current technology • robust, high-volume data pipelines • workflow provenance -- process evolution 10 • data provenance Sunday, 13 March 2011
