Provenance Data
Representation for
Inference Control
13.1 Overview
As stated earlier, provenance can be recorded in any knowledge representation lan-
guage, for example, RDF, RDFS, and OWL (Antoniou and van Harmelen 2008;
Klyne et al. 2004; McGuinness et al. 2004). Using these languages allows us to
later perform inference over the provenance graph. erefore, we could determine
the implicit information in the provenance graph. Provenance data can be stored
in the relational data model, the XML data model, or the RDF data model. Each
of these in their current form has drawbacks with respect to provenance (Holland
et al. 2008).
