- <p>This document summarises implementation experience reported to the Provenance Working Group.</p>
+ <p>This document reports on implementations and usage of the PROV Family of Documents [[PROV-OVERVIEW]]. In particular, it's aim is to demonstrate that the features defined in PROV are implementable and interoperable. Features are defined as: the constructs specified in [[PROV-DM]] and their realisation in OWL (see [[PROV-O]]) and in the [[PROV-N]] syntax; the constraints defined within [[PROV-CONSTRAINTS]]. Interoperability is defined through both the interchange of provenance information and the coverage of test cases. </p>

+ <h2>Introduction</h2>
+ The goal of PROV is to enable interoperable interchange of provenance on the Web. We take two approaches to documenting the implementation and interoperability of PROV.
+ <ol>
+ <li> For the data model [[PROV-DM]] and the two working group defined serializations, we document that there are multiple implementations that support each of the constructs defined by the data model and that there are at least two implementations that are reported to exchange these constructs. </li>
+ <li> We document that the PROV-Constraints specification is implementable. To evaluate the coverage of implementations, the <a href="https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/testcases/process.html">PROV-Constraints Test Cases</a> are used as a point of reference. There are 280 test cases in total, which map to the the constraints defined by the document. </li>
+ </ol>
+<p>
+PROV is useful not only for applications/programs but also for exposing provenance within dataset and as a foundation for other vocabularies. We also document that usage as well.
+</p>
+<p>
+Implementation evidence was gathered using four surveys.
