- This paper is the first to specify a temporal semantics for the provenance model OPM, a precursor to the PROV standard. Taking a logical perspective on the problem, it provides a temporal interpretation for provenance graphs and rigorously develops associated soundness and completeness proofs. The essence of this temporal semantics (axioms 1-8) was subsequently extracted from this work and encoded as rules in the W3C standard PROVCONSTRAINTS https://www.w3.org/TR/prov-constraints/. These rules, which logically-consistent provenance has to satisfy, are implemented in a “PROV validation service” (openprovenance.org/services/view/validator) and used to construct temporal provenance-based narrative (EPSRC PLEAD project).
