The Open Provenance Model is a model of provenance that is designed to meet the following requirements: (1) To allow provenance information to be ex- changed between systems, by means of a compatibility layer based on a shared provenance model. (2) To allow developers to build and share tools that operate on such a provenance model. (3) To de?ne provenance 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 allow multiple levels of description to coexist. (6) To de?ne a core set of rules that identify the valid inferences that can be made on provenance representation. This docu- ment contains the speci?cation of the Open Provenance Model (v1.1) resulting from a commChallenge.
