(2) To allow developers to build and share tools that operate on such provenance model. (3) To define the model in a precise, technology-agnostic manner. (4) To support a digital representation of provenance for any``thing' whether produced by computer systems or not. (5) To define a core set of rules that identify the valid inferences that can be made on provenance graphs. techreport opm:2007 The Open Provenance Model 2007 Year Title Computer science Provenance Tag Paper url 12 Month Key University of Southampton Institution Bibtype Patrick Paulson Jim Myers Robert E.
