About this talk

Every wonder about the source of a seemingly legitimate post on Facebook or even in a mainstream media publication? How about the source of the food you're eating? If E.coli is found is produce from a particular farm, how do we know what products to take off the shelf? How do we know that the electronic records from a business have been maintained appropriately? If they've been changed, who could have done it? To answer these types of questions, we need to understand how each "artifact" was created and then handled and by whom. Understanding the source and and/or process by which a piece of data was created is the lineage or "pedigree" of the data element. Understanding who has possession or custody of a data element in addition to who "owns" or has responsibility for it is the "provenance" The OMG Provenance and Pedigree Working Group has been developing a set of standards for tracking and exchanging information related to the provenance and pedigree of artifacts, whether they be data or physical objects. This presentation was recorded in Ottawa, Canada.
