Short term gains possible? -- Clynnes 17:17, 30 July 2007 (EDT)
The Provenance Challenge stuff is pretty cool, but a little daunting, especially the second one. If we all have to learn each other's workflow models in order to write a translater in order to parse and incorporate a foreign provenance, it could take a while...
Thing is, if we could have a human-readable end-to-end provenance (albeit not machine parseable all the way through by any one application), that might scratch a substantial part of the science user itch.
I'm thinking of:
- a standard or convention by which one refers to or includes/encapsulates a foreign provenance
- a stylesheet to make it human readable
- a standard or convention or mapping method to specify the originating/performing organization
Feasible? Useful?
