Provenance in the Semantic Web

Provenance in the Semantic Web refers to tracking and recording the origin, history, and context of data and information. It details where the data came from, how it was created, and any changes it has undergone. This helps users assess the trustworthiness, accuracy, and relevance of data, enabling better decision-making and data integration across systems. Think of it as a detailed "story" of data’s journey, providing transparency and accountability in the digital information ecosystem.
