The Open Provenance Model (OPM) is a model for provenance that is designed to meet the following requirements: { To allow provenance information to be exchanged between systems, by means of a compatibility layer based on a shared provenance model. { To allow developers to build and share tools that operate on such provenance model. { To dene the model in a precise, technology-agnostic manner. { To support a digital representation of provenance for any \thing", whether produced by computer systems or not. { To dene a core set of rules that identify the valid inferences that can be made on provenance graphs.
