OVERVIEW
========

Provenance is growing increasingly important in an accelerated 
environment of
Big Data and international data sharing. As “a record that describes 
entities
and processes involved in producing and delivering or otherwise influencing
that resource”, provenance provides a critical foundation for assessing the
authenticity of computationally derived results, enabling trust, and
facilitating reuse and reproducibility.

We are pleased that IPAW’14 will participate as part of a “Provenance 
Week”,
a full week of co-located activities around provenance (details 
forthcoming).
IPAW’14 builds on a successful line of provenance and annotation workshops:

TOPICS
======

The goal of IPAW is to bring together researchers and practitioners who are
studying, applying, and advancing provenance in scientific and scholarly 
uses.
Topics of interest for IPAW 2014 include the following:
- Provenance analytics and visualization
- Role of provenance in Big Data
- Provenance quality
- Attribution and trust in sharing of research data across national 
boundaries
- Provenance and the semantic web
- Human interaction with provenance
- Security and privacy implications of provenance
- Legal applications of provenance
- Integration of provenance into existing information management 
architectures
- Provenance management architectures and techniques
- Provenance and social media
- Provenance in extreme computing
- Provenance in digital data lifecycle
- Reasoning about provenance
- Provenance discovery
- Standardization of provenance models, services, and representations
- Provenance management system prototypes and commercial solutions
- Applications of provenance in real life settings
