Abstract

This paper presents the application of PROV to geospatial data. In particular, it is applied to the vector model, where geospatial phenomena are represented as a collection of individual objects (called features) that are described with a lot of geographical (point, lines, polygons, etc.) and non-geographical (names, measures, etc.) properties (sometimes called attributes). We present an approach to describe in W3C PROV the distributed data sources and the processes involved in the generation/revision of a geospatial dataset.
