Open Provenance Model

The Open Provenance Model (OPM) is a standardized way to represent how data is created, changed, and used over time. It maps out the entire process—showing the sources of data, the steps involved in transforming it, and the people or systems responsible. Think of it as a detailed "history" of data, helping organizations understand and verify the origins and transformations of information. This transparency supports trust, reproducibility, and accountability across various fields like science, business, and data management.
