 <h4>Note Record</h4>
 
+<p>As provenance records are exchanged between systems, it may be useful to add extra-information about such records. For instance, a "trust service" may add value-judgements about the trustworthiness of some of the assertions made. Likewise, an interactive visualization component may want to enrich a set of provenance records with information helping reproduce their visual representation. To help with inter-operability, PROV-DM introduces a simple annotation mechanism allowing any identifiable record to be associated with notes.</p>
