Document the provenance of the results
From Geoscience Paper of the Future
What This Task Involves
The training session and training materials indicate how to:
- Capture the provenance of the results in a paper
- Develop a workflow sketch, a formal workflow, or a provenance record that represent to different degrees of accuracy what the provenance of the results is
- Publish the provenance and make it part of a publication
Training Materials
This training session was held on March 6, 2015:
Suggested Readings
- "A Primer for the PROV Provenance Model." Yolanda Gil, Simon Miles, Khalid Belhajjame, Helena Deus, Daniel Garijo, Graham Klyne, Paolo Missier, Stian Soiland-Reyes, and Stephan Zednik. Published as a W3C Working Group Note on 30 April 2013.
- A brief and practical introduction to the PROV standard for provenance, showing examples of how to represent the provenance record in RDF through a simple notation called Turtle
- "Intelligent Workflow Systems and Provenance-Aware Software." Gil, Y. In Proceedings of the Seventh International Congress on Environmental Modeling and Software, San Diego, CA, 2014.
- A brief introduction to workflows for scientists, giving examples and explanations of their benefits
What To Do
We described many options in the training. Here is a sketch of the most common approach:
- Create a public entry for your dataset with a permanent unique identifier.
