Re: Provenance

Christopher,

I think it is a good idea to add some provenance information to the output. Do you think you can write down, at least in a sketch, what triples you think should be generated using the metadata information we have in the metadata document?

Thanks

Ivan

P.S. You probably know the saying: no good deed goes unpunished:-)

We may well know the URI of the source table, and the URI of the metadata document. That's provenance right there. I would suggest (not as a high priority) that a recommended RDF way to express this relationship could be included in this work. eg. The triples in the output RDF saying it was generated from source document(s) X, using metadata Y and process Z at a given time & date by an agent (the organisation/person/system making the conversion).
