From Review Algebra to Provenance Modelling

Source: vignettes/prov.Rmd
prov.Rmd

Review algebra is implementation-independent

The same review object can be edited by

  • dplyr

  • Excel

  • Shiny

  • OpenRefine

Review rounds as provenance activities

Show

candidate ↓ review_1 ↓ review_2

and explain that every review round corresponds to one provenance activity.

Provenance attributes

For example

attr(gdp, "prov_activity")  candidate  review_1  review_2 download   impute    forecast
attr(gdp, "prov_agent")
attr(gdp, "prov_used")

Relationship to PROV

Without implementing RDF.

Simply explain

Review algebra PROV
candidate/review columns Entity
prov_activity Activity
prov_agent Agent
prov_used used
review chain wasGeneratedBy

The important point is

The package stores provenance in a lightweight R representation that can later be serialised into PROV or other provenance models.

Outlook

Mention

  • RDF

  • PROV-O

  • RiC

  • SDMX

  • DataCite

without implementing them.
