ISSUE-168: HTTP POSTing a provenance URI to an originating source

TLebo

HTTP POSTing a provenance URI to an originating source

State:

POSTPONED

Product:

Accessing and Querying Provenance

Raised by:

Timothy Lebo

Opened on:

2011-11-23

Description:

Permitting "downstream" activities to "report back" to originating sources would be an invaluable way to create a web of provenance.

Would it be possible to add a section describing how third party clients can HTTP POST additional provenance URIs describing resources relevant to the server?

This would allow data consumers to tell data providers, "Hey, I used your data!".

Servers receiving these POSTs could choose to acknowledge them (or not) by including the additional provenance URIs in the HTTP GET described in http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/paq/provenance-access.html#resource-accessed-by-http

Thanks!
Tim
