PROV (Provenance Data Model)

The PROV (Provenance Data Model) is a framework for tracking the history and origins of data. It records how data was created, who was involved, what processes or tools were used, and how it might have changed over time. This helps ensure data transparency, trust, and reproducibility, especially in complex systems or research. In essence, PROV provides a structured way to understand and verify the lineage of information, making it easier to confirm its accuracy and reliability.
