Dear LODers, We are very pleased to announce the release of an alpha version of the Provenance Vocabulary [1]. The aim of this vocabulary is to enable providers of Web data to publish provenance-related metadata about their data. The "Guide to the Provenance Vocabulary" [2] explains how to use the vocabulary and provides many examples. Similar to SIOC the Provenance Vocabulary is defined as an OWL-DL ontology which is partitioned in a core ontology [3] and supplementary modules. We ask for comments on both the vocabulary [3] as well as the guide [2]. To comment either reply to this message and/or share your thoughts with us at the mailinglist for users of the Provenance Vocabulary [4]. Issues with the vocabulary can also be reported using the issue tracker [5]. Furthermore, we kindly ask developers of Linked Data publishing tools to consider extending their tools with a provenance component that automatically adds provenance-related metadata to the provided Linked Data and to adopt the Provenance Vocabulary for such a component. We are currently working on such an extension for Triplify and for Pubby. On behalf of the Provenance Vocabulary team (Jun Zhao and Olaf Hartig).
