Re: Establishing Trust by Describing Provenance

Hi Jeni,

Nice article, and good to see the vocabularies in actual use.

I’ve been wondering though about whether alongside tracking these detailed statements about provenance, whether we ought to be including some simple statements in the data we convert to indicate the original source of the data.

Perhaps we should annotate void and scovo datasets with dcterms:source predicates pointing to the source HTML or XLS that was used to derive the data.

This provides a simple pointer that is easy to query and follow, whilst leaving the detailed provenance data for more detailed fact checking?
