Data provenance is a machine-readable summary of the collection and computational history of a dataset. Data provenance confers or adds value to a dataset, helps reproduce computational analyses, or validates scientific conclusions. The people of the End-to-End Provenance Project are a community of professionals who have developed software tools to collect and use data provenance.
