RE: prov-wg Implementation Report Review (Due Fri Feb 15)

Hello Paul,

The report looks impressive, and I've only minor comments to feed back.

Section 1 intro, just after enumerated list: "exposing provenance within dataset" should be "exposing provenance within datasets"

Accompanying Table 6 (Section 4), it would be good to spell out explicitly what "All" means. I assume you mean all the concepts listed in Tables 2, 3 or 4.

Related to one of Luc's comments, maybe in Section 4 we could emphasise the independence of implementations by saying explicitly that all the implementations referred to in the Summary list (and in the columns of Table 6?) are code bases without code dependencies or co-developers. I see the note about Soton's two implementations, but the reader may not otherwise know that the group are truly independent implementations.

thanks,
Simon

Hi All,

You can find a draft of our implementation report at:

https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/reports/prov-implementations.html

A couple of notes:
- Please let us know what you think.
- Comments due by Fri Feb 15 so that we can process the comments in-time
- Thanks to Tim & Stephan for their usability comments.
- We will run the scripts again next week. So please if you have any more implementations or datasets that use PROV, or know of anybody who does, tell them there's still time to fill one of the surveys in. Given that we will add the acknowledgements next week.

Finally, thanks to Dong who did a brilliant job of generating the tables within the report.

Thanks
Paul

P.S. We now have more reported implementations (at time of report) than SKOS, OWL2, SPARQL, RIF, RDFa, and RDF :-)
