Building Trust in Information: Perspectives on the Frontiers of Provenance (Springer Proceedings in Business and Economics)

"This book reports on the results of an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary workshop on provenance that brought together researchers and practitioners from different areas such as archival science, law, information science, computing, forensics and visual analytics that work at the frontiers of new knowledge on provenance. Each of these fields understands the meaning and purpose of representing provenance in subtly different ways. The aim of this book is to create cross-disciplinary bridges of understanding with a view to arriving at a deeper and clearer perspective on the different facets of provenance and how traditional definitions and applications may be enriched and expanded via an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary synthesis. This volume brings together all of these developments, setting out an encompassing vision of provenance to establish a robust framework for expanded provenance theory, standards and technologies that can be used to build trust in financial and other types of information"--Provided by publisher Front Matter....Pages i-xvii Front Matter....Pages 1-1 Provenance: Past, Present and Future in Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Perspective....Pages 3-45 Front Matter....Pages 47-47 Describing Archives in Context: Peter J Scott and the Australian ‘Series’ System....Pages 49-57 Provenance: An Archival Perspective....Pages 59-68 Research Issues in Archival Provenance....Pages 69-78 Front Matter....Pages 79-79 Provenance in Digital Libraries: Source, Context, Value and Trust....Pages 81-91 Conceptual Provenance in Indexing Languages....Pages 93-99 Front Matter....Pages 101-101 A Brief Tour Through Provenance in Scientific Workflows and Databases....Pages 103-126 The Lifecycle of Provenance Metadata and Its Associated Challenges and Opportunities....Pages 127-137 Front Matter....Pages 139-139 Visual Analytics: Data, Analytical and Reasoning Provenance....Pages 141-150 Analytic Provenance and Distributed Sensemaking....Pages 151-161 Back Matter....Pages 163-163
