Minutes

Minutes of the workshop (or a summary of the technical discussion, at least) can be found here.

Presentations

We encourage teams to answer the particular questions below.

• How easy was it to convert/use other models for provenance data within your system? Easy, Some effort, Impossible
• Were the query answers obtained from using others' data in this challenge the same as those yours from the first challenge? Same, Broadly similar, Very different
• What concepts were present or assumed in others' data that were not present in your own or vice-versa?
• What concepts were the same?
• What form of translation mechanism did you use?
• How did the query answers differ between first and second challenge?
• What are the observed pros and cons between compared systems, e.g. security addressed in one system but performance poor?
• What obstacles do you see to inter-operability between the approaches/systems/models you tried using?

Demonstrations

For each team that has implemented the challenge (or has other code to demonstrate regarding interoperability between provenance systems), there will be a chance to demonstrate this.

Designing the perfect provenance model

In this session, teams will "defend" their systems against others: propose why their system is superior and answer questions.

Monday night dinner details

June 25th, 7pm Dinner at Tarpy's

The restaurant is located 4 miles from the conference hotel. Let's meet in the lobby at 6:30pm. This will give us enough time to get cabs and/or rides with people who rented cars.

If you have confirmed you are coming to dinner, but for any reason you cannot make it, please let us know. We need confirm the headcount on Monday afternoon.
