1. Implementation Information

Details

Responder NameURLDescription
Paul Groth prov-check https://github.com/pgroth/prov-check An implementation of the W3C Constraints of the PROV Data Model based on SPARQL.
Luc Moreau ProvValidator http://provenance.ecs.soton.ac.uk/validator/validator.html A service to validate provenance statements. The service is currently hosted at http://provenance.ecs.soton.ac.uk/validator/validator.html
James Cheney checker.pl https://github.com/jamescheney/prov-constraints
A reference implementation of prov-constraints in Prolog.

Authors: James Cheney (Edinburgh) and Stephen Cresswell (TSO)

5. Framework Usage

What tools or frameworks does your implementation use? How are you using them?

Details

Responder Framework Usage
Paul Groth I use RDFLib for parsing the turtle and RDF Lib Sparql for performing sparql queries over the information.
Luc Moreau ProvValidator is built on the ProvToolbox
James Cheney SWI Prolog + XML parsing library

6. Test case identifiers that PASS validation

Please list all filenames with extensions (one on each line) of the test cases that have passed validation

Details

Responder Test case identifiers that PASS validation
Paul Groth You can find a list here:
https://github.com/pgroth/prov-check/blob/master/tests/positive.txt

Note, I currently do not validate - prov-dm-ex23_start-PASS.ttl correctly. This is due to the handling of blank nodes in my implementation.

8. Provenance Exchange

Has this implementation been used to consume a PROV serialization generated by another tool? If so, please identify the other tool and describe how it was used.

Details

Responder Provenance Exchange
Paul Groth
Luc Moreau Yes, ProvValidator validates provenance produced by CollabMap and PON.
See Daniel's application too.
James Cheney Assuming that the test cases are produced by prov-toolbox, this implementation has been used to consume PROV-XML as generated by prov-toolbox.
