+This document is part of a set of specifications aiming to define the various aspects that are necessary to achieve the visition on inter-operable exchange of provenance information in heterogeneous environments. This document defines the PROV-DM data model for provenance, accompanied with a notation to express instances of that data model for human consumption. Two other documents, to be released shortly, are: 1) a normative serialization of PROV-DM in RDF, specified by means of a mapping to the OWL2 Web Ontology Language; 2)
