Usage of "provenance": a Tower of Babel. Towards a concept map - position paper for the Microsoft Life Cycle Seminar, Mountain View, July 10, 2006
At the recent International Provenance and Annotation Workshop, during a Gong Show of outlandish, "outside-the-box" ideas, I presented an analysis of the use of the word "provenance" in some of the 28 preprints selected for presentation. Over 1100 occurrences of the word "provenance" were identified, and out of these, 124 different usages were extracted. As will be shown in this position paper, such extensive use of the word "provenance" results in unnecessary ambiguities and even sometimes contradictions.

Abstract

At the recent International Provenance and Annotation Workshop, during a Gong Show of outlandish, "outside-the-box" ideas, I presented an analysis of the use of the word "provenance" in some of the 28 preprints selected for presentation. Over 1100 occurrences of the word "provenance" were identified, and out of these, 124 different usages were extracted. As will be shown in this position paper, such extensive use of the word "provenance" results in unnecessary ambiguities and even sometimes contradictions.
