Primes¶
- Event-Centered Modeling
- The same wiring governs a cultural-heritage object's provenance, a chain of legal title, an incident reconstruction, an append-only software event log, and a contact-tracing graph — in each, the events are the spine, the entities are read off them, and the four roles travel with every event regardless of what the substrate is made of.
This sourceA generic, domain-neutral provenance model whose core is entities, activities (events), and agents related by generation, usage, and attribution — establishing the cross-substrate recurrence of events as the primary connecting nodes across provenance, records, and data lineage.

- Provenance
- It establishes authenticity, enables verification of claims, and creates accountability by making visible the chain through which something came to exist and passed through successive hands, contexts, or states.
This sourceWorld Wide Web Consortium. Standard model defining provenance as a record of entities, activities, and agents linking origin, custody, and transformation; foundational specification for cross-domain provenance interchange.

PROV-DM defines provenance as a record of how a thing was produced, usable to assess quality, reliability and trustworthiness; it does not use authenticity or accountability language.
“Provenance is information about entities, activities, and people involved in producing a piece of data or thing, which can be used to form assessments about its quality, reliability or trustworthiness.”
- It establishes authenticity, enables verification of claims, and creates accountability by making visible the chain through which something came to exist and passed through successive hands, contexts, or states.
- Reality Monitoring
- It connects to provenance graphs in data engineering: a reality-monitoring system is, structurally, a runtime that maintains a provenance graph and queries it at use-time, so the cognitive and the engineering instances are the same object viewed from two disciplines.
This sourceStandard model for representing provenance as a graph of entities, activities, and agents that downstream systems record at origin and query at use-time, establishing the cognitive–engineering correspondence for source attribution.

PROV-DM supplies the provenance data model, shown as a directed graph of entities, activities and agents, but says nothing of cognition or reality monitoring, and querying is delegated to PROV-AQ.

- Traceability
- The W3C PROV-DM specification (Moreau & Missier, 2013) provides a domain-neutral data model for representing such lineage relations across scientific workflows.

PROV-DM is a domain-agnostic provenance model with derivation relations, supporting the domain-neutral framing; scientific workflows are not singled out in the specification.
“The PROV data model, comprising both core and extended structures, is a domain-agnostic model”
- The W3C PROV-DM specification (Moreau & Missier, 2013) provides a domain-neutral data model for representing such lineage relations across scientific workflows.
Mechanisms¶
- Provenance Tagging Protocol
- The formal reference model here is data provenance as codified in the W3C PROV standard, which structures the "who/what/when" of how a data item came to be.

- Raw-Corrected Overlay Review
- Its strength is that it prevents a correction from becoming an unexamined authority: by keeping the raw and corrected outputs together and legible, it defends provenance — the traceable link from a polished output back to the unmediated evidence it came from
This sourceDefines provenance as a traceable account linking an output to the entities and activities from which it derives.

- Source-to-Score Lineage Graph
- It is the applied form of data lineage — the recorded flow of data through its transformations from origin to output — turned into something a non-engineer can walk.
This sourceModels provenance as recorded relationships among source entities, processing activities, transformations, and generated outputs.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 3 of 7 citations: 3 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
