[Esip-preserve] Fwd: ANDS Invitation: Data Provenance Workshop on 27th Oct. 2014, Melbourne

[Parsons, Mark via Esip-preserve]

Hi Team,

I have been asked to give an opening talk at a provenance workshop in Australia in a session entitled “Provenance around the world”

I would appreciate pointers and ideas on this. I don’t really consider myself a provenance expert.

cheers,

Hi Mark,

Glad to hear you will join our data provenance workshop! Actually we would like to invite you to give a talk  on the state of art of data provenance or your  work: Provenance: Promise and Practice; or a topic of your choice at relatively high level to kind of set the scene at the beginning of the workshop for what is provenance.   We can allocate 25mins (presentation + question time)  for that.

Please let me know if you are happy to give such a talk.

Thanks and regards,
Ming

p.s. in looking at the agenda, I notice the session on Data Provenance around the world. I would be happy to say something about the work the Federation of Earth Science Information Partners is doing in developing “Provenance and context content standards”.

cheers,

Data Provenance Workshop



General Information
This is a half-day workshop, with the conveners Nicholas Car (CSIRO), Andrew Treloar (ANDS), Mingfang Wu (ANDS) and Lesley Wyborn (GA). This workshop will be held at the eResearch Australasia Conference venue (Pullman Melbourne Albert Park<http://accorhotels.com.au/hotel/pullman-melbourne-albert-park>) on 27th Oct. 2014 from 1:30pm to 5:00pm. Please note this is not a registered workshop at the conference, but facilitated by ANDS and held at the conference venue for the convenience of attendees. The workshop is free of charge, and attendance is through invitation only.
Description
Data provenance is becoming increasingly important, especially in the eScience community, where research can be data intensive and often involves complex data transformations  and procedures. In data intensive science, where data producers may configure an instrument or simulation in certain way to collect primary data, or apply certain methodologies and processes to extract, transform and analyse an input data to produce an output data,  the provision of provenance as part of published data (either primary or secondary) is important for determining the quality, the amount of trust that can be placed on the results,  the reproducibility of any result and ultimately the reusability of that data.

This workshop aims to:
1) bring together data provenance practitioners, developers and researchers to increase our awareness of work currently being done on data provenance around and beyond Australia;
2) foster a data provenance forum or community within Australia; and
3) coordinate contributions to international data provenance activities  such as RD-A<http://rd-alliance.org/> data provenance interests group<https://rd-alliance.org/group/research-data-provenance.html> if possible.

Attendees are expected to submit their use cases through this provenance use case capture tool<http://promsns.org/uc/> before the workshop; representative use cases will be discussed during the workshop  in order to identify common themes and areas for future work. Attendees are also invited to nominate and discuss real challenges they are facing in the process of capturing, storing and disseminating provenance data.
