<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12px;">Provenance
Week 2016 will take place three years after the publication
of the PROV recommendations and notes. The purpose of this
workshop is twofold: 1) to collect practical experiences
with using PROV in real-world applications so that we can
take stock of its impact, and 2) to identify
interoperability challenges with the current PROV
specifications. The aim is to develop a community consensus
around the priorities for PROV.</p>

font-size: 29px;">Background</h3>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12px;">Provenance,
defined as a record that describes the people, institutions,
entities, and activities involved in producing, influencing,
or delivering a piece of data or a thing, is crucial in
deciding whether information is to be trusted, how it should
be integrated with other diverse information sources, and
how to give credit to its originators when reusing it. In
many environments, such as the Web or the medical context
where users find information that is uncertain or
questionable, provenance can help those users to make trust
judgements.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12px;">In
2013, the World Wide Web Consortium published PROV, a
standard for expressing, sharing, and discovering provenance
on the Web. It consists of a conceptual data model (<a
href="https://www.w3.org/TR/prov-dm/" style="box-sizing:
border-box; color: rgb(66, 139, 202); text-decoration:
none;">PROV-DM</a>), an OWL2 ontology (<a
href="https://www.w3.org/TR/prov-o/" style="box-sizing:
border-box; color: rgb(66, 139, 202); text-decoration:
none;">PROV-O</a>), a textual notation (<a
href="https://www.w3.org/TR/prov-n/" style="box-sizing:
border-box; color: rgb(66, 139, 202); text-decoration:
none;">PROV-N</a>), a set of constraints to check the
consistency of provenance (<a
href="https://www.w3.org/TR/prov-constraints/"
style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(66, 139, 202);
text-decoration: none;">PROV-CONSTRAINTS</a>), an XML
schema (<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/prov-xml/"
style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(66, 139, 202);
text-decoration: none;">PROV-XML</a>), conventions for
sharing and discovering provenance (<a
href="https://www.w3.org/TR/prov-aq/" style="box-sizing:
border-box; color: rgb(66, 139, 202); text-decoration:
none;">PROV-AQ</a>), and various other more focused
specifications. Since then, PROV has seen adoption in some
flagship applications, continued strong interest by the
academic community, and promising tentative take-up in other
standardization organizations, such as<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a

style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(66, 139, 202);

text-decoration: none;">OGC</a>.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12px;">Three
years later, it is time for provenance practitioners to take
stock, reflect on their practical experiences with using
PROV in their applications, understand the impact of PROV,
and identify interoperability challenges and shortcomings
with the current specifications. We invite the community to
submit short position statements, which will be presented in
"lightning talks" at a workshop on June 6, during Provenance
Week. Talks will be grouped by topics of interest. The
workshop organisers will act as facilitators, with the aim
to develop a community consensus around the priorities for
PROV. Position statements will be published online as a
record of the workshop.</p>
