W3C Provenance Working Group

The W3C Provenance Working Group is a team that focuses on understanding and managing the origins and history of data on the web. Essentially, they work to develop standards and technologies that help track where information comes from, how it was created, and how it has been modified over time. This is important for ensuring data credibility, supporting legal compliance, and enhancing trust in information shared online. By establishing clear guidelines, the group aims to improve data transparency and enable better decisions based on reliable source information.
