to form assessments about its quality, reliability or trustworthiness. The goal of PROV is to enable the wide publication and interchange of provenance on the Web and other information systems. PROV enables one to represent and interchange provenance information using widely available formats such as RDF and XML. In addition, it provides definitions for accessing provenance information, validating it, and mapping to Dublin Core.

-Below is the organization of PROV. At its core is a conceptual data model, which defines a common vocabulary used to describe provenance. This instantiated by various serializations. These serializations are what are used by implementations to interchange provenance. To help developers and user create valid provenance, a set of constraints are defined, which can be used to create provenance validators. Finally, to further support the interchange of provenance, additional definitions are provided defining protocols for locating and accessing provenance as well as defining how to interoperate with the widely used Dublin Core vocabulary.
