<jcheney> http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/prov/wiki/User_Requirements#Disease_Outbreak_Scenario

James will talk abt his ideas on the Disease Outbreak scenario that he has worked out until now

<jcheney> http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/prov/wiki/Analysis_of_Disease_Outbreak_Scenario

imagine having a richer provenance infrastructure layer to handle with this problem.

not sure if we can associate this with the other scenarios

for instance the cases in the presence of dynamic data -- might be illustrated by other scenarios but might be more complex in this one.

Tim: how does james see the form of information and how can this interact with structured data

James: info starts as unstructured, but eventually people are interested in asking structured complex queries
... this observation comes from people in Bioinformatics. from a usability point of view, figuring out a schema is not trivial as data grows in different ways.
... the provenance infrastructure should be agnostic from the structure below
... the important parts of the scenario can be found at : http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/prov/wiki/User_Requirements#Disease_Outbreak_Scenario and http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/prov/wiki/Analysis_of_Disease_Outbreak_Scenario
... on the public policy side-- there is work that automatically record decision making
... in the UK it is required to produce reports for cost benefit analysis (e.g., what the impact on X is on Y)
... triangular structure in the scenario (users who are trying to understand, reuse, the data and decision makers)
... the point is that there are multiple levels of abstraction for the specification of provenance -- different ways of saying / expressing provenance information)

Tagging

Daniel: no substantial progress, 46 untagged papers & relevant papers for the scenario

untagged papers should be tagged in the following weeks. & progress of tagging of relevant papers for the disease outbreak scenario

& we should tag the relevant papers to provenance with the #provenance tag

(this is not done)

James: better to think of the scenario and then tag relevant papers instead of going through the list and tag

+1 from me

Daniel: before uploading entries make sure that the entry does not exist
