PROV-O

PROV-O (Provenance Ontology for the Web) is a framework that helps describe the history and origin of digital data. It records how data was created, who was involved, and what processes were used, making it easier to verify its authenticity and understand its context. Think of it as a detailed trail that shows the journey of data—from raw inputs to the final result—allowing users to trust and interpret information accurately. PROV-O is used in various fields like research, data management, and digital preservation to ensure transparency and accountability.
