<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>

<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 moz-do-not-send="true"
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
moz-do-not-send="true"
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
moz-do-not-send="true"
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 moz-do-not-send="true"
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 moz-do-not-send="true"
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
moz-do-not-send="true"
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

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>
