PML (Provenance Markup Language)

Provenance Markup Language (PML) is a standardized way to document the origin, history, and processes behind digital data and artifacts. It captures details such as how data was created, modified, or used, and the relationships between different data elements. This helps ensure transparency, trustworthiness, and accountability by providing a clear record of the data's lifecycle. PML is often used in scientific research, digital archiving, and data management to facilitate understanding and verification of data's authenticity and how it has been handled over time.
