DI_Provenance_Metadata_FocusGroup

The Provenance and Metadata focus group is a smaller group of Data Integration Working Group members and others with an interest in defining appropriate standards and profiles for the attachment and management of metadata, particularly provenance metadata. iPlant members who have made contributions to the Provenance and Metadata development thus far include

Chris Jordan, DI Co-lead

Matthew Pickard

Christos Noutsos

Jerry Lu


Attached to this page is the draft description of a schema for input of provenance regarding experimentally derived data. This description, once finalized, will form the basis for an XML schema utilizing standard vocabularies such as DarwinCore to express in a machine-readable form the experiments that produce data imported into the iPlant environment.
