Re; Introduction

(Thanks for the reminder, Simon :-).)

Hi guys,

I'm a professor of computer science at St Andrews, with an interest in
sensor networks and programming languages. I also work with our marine
and environmental scientists quite closely, where we're trying to
improve the quality and scale of data we can collect over long periods.

For the purposes of provenance, I'm mainly interested in two things:

1. How to capture and represent the provenance of data coming from a
sensor network. The network will probably perform all sorts of
transformations on the raw data, which have potentially important
consequences for the analyses and statistics that get performed on it
later in the workflow and therefore need to be captured and propagated
cleanly.

2. How best to represent a manipulate provenance and other linked data
within programs, especially how to assign types and perform analysis on
data with complex dynamic relationships.

Looking forward to working with you all!

Best regards,
