Today, following my post on Provenance in the 2014 National Climate Assessment, I continue to blog about applications making use of PROV. The Gazette is the UK’s official public record since 1665, The Gazette has a long and established history and has been at the heart of British public life for almost 350 years (see an overview of its history). Today’s Gazette continues to publish business-critical information – and, thanks to its digital transformation, this information is now more accessible than ever before.
In a true open government approach, the tender for The Gazette Web site is a available online, and requested the use of PROV (which was then a Candidate Recommendation). The purpose of provenance on The Gazette is to describe the capture, transformation and enrichment and publishing process applied to all Notices published by the Gazette.
The following post examines how provenance was actually deployed The Gazette Web site.
