Abstract

Provenance-aware storage systems (PASS) are a new class of storage system treating provenance as a first-class object, providing automatic collection, storage, and management of provenance as well as query capabilities. We developed the first PASS prototype between 2005 and 2006, targeting scientific end users. Prior to undertaking the provenance challenge, we had focused on provenance collection and storage, without much emphasis on a query model or language. The challenge forced us to (quickly) develop a query model and infrastructure implementing this model. We present a brief overview of the PASS prototype and a discussion of the evolution of the query model that we developed for the challenge. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
