Hi Dave,

Thanks for getting in touch. In terms of the Provenance specs, we are
progressing rapidly. You can find all our current working drafts here:
http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/wiki/Main_Page

I would suggest starting with the PROV primer.

These specs are fairly stable. Indeed, we are hoping to go to last
call in the next month.  This means that I think it's  a good place to
both build on PROV but also get feedback from your group on
implementations.

Obviously, being a final recommendation will take a bit longer. But
clearly we can coordinate.

Does that help explain where we are at?

Thanks
Paul
