Abstract

Recently the concept of the Web of Linked Data has emerged as a means to expose, share, and connect information on the Web. According to the rating system for publishing open data (http://tinyurl.com/388x47v), 5-star open data must be expressed in a machine-readable format using open standards (such as RDF) with links to other people’s data. While this approach provides better context for supporting intelligent reasoning, publishing the provenance of open data is essential in order to enable better assessment of important attributes such as trustworthiness and quality.

In this workshop, we aim to bring together experts in Linked Data with experts in Provenance to explore principles for publishing provenance of Linked Open Data. This workshop will build on our previous workshop “Understanding Provenance and Linked Open Data” (see http://tinyurl.com/3mlyfoo for materials produced during the workshop) during which we identified a number of relevant issues and challenges (http://tinyurl.com/3gqo7dl). A small number of use-cases illustrating these issues have also been defined (see http://tinyurl.com/3gdj6j2).

The schedule is currently being finalised, but the activities of the workshop will include:

  • Review of the issues identified during the previous workshop;
  • Review of the use-cases developed during the previous workshop;
  • Development of a set of principles for publishing Provenance of Linked Open Data;
  • Inform the development of a roadmap for future directions.

Target Audience

This meeting is intended for academics, researchers and PhD students interested in provenance, industry, data archives, libraries, museums, government agencies (for example, the cabinet office transparency unit, ordnance survey) and others interested in provenance and linked open data.
