Motivating provenance services in PAQ
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- Accessing and Querying Provenance
- Raised by:
- Timothy Lebo
- Opened on:
- 2011-11-23
- Description:
- "3.2.1 Specifying Provenance Services"
has a note:
"This is a new proposal. It needs to be reviewed as to whether it is useful."
I didn't see the request to put this in, but I'd like to offer some independent motivation.
Some capabilities that a provenance service could provide that a "baked in" rel link could not provide:
1) Send me (via POST) the file (or its cryptographic digest) back,
* I'll find you the "closest" document I know about (in case yours was changed)
* I'll point you to all newer versions of what you have.
* I'll point you to others that have done something with what you have.
Content-based manipulations can not be handled by hard coded rel links, but services can provide some assistance (through heuristics) that can inform the consumer about what they _have_, as opposed to what was _given_ at some point in the past.
Thanks,

Thanks. I plan to remove the flag and propose to close this issue.
