IPAW'2014 - Call for Papers

5th Intl. Provenance and Annotation Workshop

Overview

Provenance is growing increasingly important in an accelerated environment of Big Data and international data sharing. As a record that describes entities
and processes involved in producing and delivering or otherwise influencing that resource, provenance provides a critical foundation for assessing the
authenticity of computationally derived results, enabling trust, and facilitating reuse and reproducibility.

We are pleased that IPAW’14 will participate as part of a “PROVENANCE WEEK”, a full week of co-located activities around provenance (details forthcoming).
IPAW’14 builds on a successful line of provenance and annotation workshops: http://www.ipaw.info/
