Modeling and querying provenance by extending CIDOC CRM

This paper elaborates on the problem of modeling provenance for both physical and digital objects. In particular it discusses provenance according to OAIS (ISO 14721:2003) and how it relates with the conceptualization of CIDOC CRM ontology (ISO 21127:2006). Subsequently it introduces an extension of...

Description
Summary:This paper elaborates on the problem of modeling provenance for both physical and digital objects. In particular it discusses provenance according to OAIS (ISO 14721:2003) and how it relates with the conceptualization of CIDOC CRM ontology (ISO 21127:2006). Subsequently it introduces an extension of the CIDOC CRM ontology, able to capture the modeling and the query requirements regarding the provenance of digital objects. Over this extension the paper provides a number of indicative examples of modeling provenance in various domains. Subsequently, it introduces a number of indicative provenance query templates, and finally it describes an implementation using Semantic Web technologies.
