Abstract

While major effort has been devoted to data provenance, the provenance of software and workflows is not as well understood. Software artifacts have their own provenance in terms of how they were created, what theories or models are behind them, and how they are derived from earlier versions or prior implementations. Workflows also evolve to reflect changes in science methods, as they are extended or assumptions lifted. These provenance records may be created separately from the provenance records of the articles themselves, but are needed to fully document the provenance of new scientific results in the published record. These are issues that the EarthCube OntoSoft project and the Geoscience Papers of the Future initiative are exploring. This presentation will discuss the requirements for capturing software and workflow provenance, the integration of those provenance records with provenance of new …
