Let's postpone until that side of Christmas.

I think the fact that the present document is not normative somewhat lowers the bar for what might be included, as long as it's firmly grounded in existing web protocols. > > #g > -- > > On 23/11/2011 16:43, Provenance Working Group Issue Tracker wrote: >> >> PROV-ISSUE-168 (TLebo): HTTP POSTing a provenance URI to an originating source [Accessing and Querying Provenance] >> >> http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/168 >> >> Raised by: Timothy Lebo >> On product: Accessing and Querying Provenance >> >> Permitting "downstream" activities to "report back" to originating sources would be an invaluable way to create a web of provenance. >> >> Would it be possible to add a section describing how third party clients can HTTP POST additional provenance URIs describing resources relevant to the server? >> >> This would allow data consumers to tell data providers, "Hey, I used your data!". >> >> Servers receiving these POSTs could choose to acknowledge them (or not) by including the additional provenance URIs in the HTTP GET described in http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/paq/provenance-access.html#resource-accessed-by-http >> >> Thanks! >> Tim >> >> >> >> >
