Re: Suggestion on tools to create and organize PROV-based provenances

Hi Luc
Nice, I wasn’t aware of the PROV-N editor.

Thanks! -Paolo

Hi Paolo

You can point them to the Southampton provenance tool suite:
https://provenance.ecs.soton.ac.uk/
with ProvStore, validator, and a prov-n editor.

Hi everybody,

A request from a collaborator — a climate scientist at Oak Ridge Nat Lab.

I believe PROV-N is as friendly a “UI” for writing PROV as it gets, but some of you may be aware of other user tools?

Thanks! -Paolo

Could you please give us some suggestions on easy-to-use tools to create and organize PROV-based provenances?

The ORNL DAAC have been archiving a lot of soil data products since 20 years ago. Soil data products are related with each other. Older soil data was usually combined with more newer samples to get improved soil data. So it will be very useful to construct the lineage for past and present soil data products. Data users will have a better understanding of these data and it will be easier for them to choose what they need. We have started the work and created some charts in PowerPoint. These charts are quite simple, with data nodes and processing nodes and lines connecting them. I believe this will be a perfect exercise for converting these charts into PROV-based provenances. But we don’t know if there is any tool that’s mature and simple enough so that we can easily create, manage, and analyze PROV provenances. I know ProvExplorer that Sauman was working on, but that’s only a visualization tool I guess. You can assume we don’t know anything about Ontology, RDF, or PROV. I’m thinking a tool with friendly user interface for domain scientists to use. Thank you.

Best,
Yaxing
