An overview of Provenance and it´s use cases

The concept of provenance is well known by some, and completely unknown to others. In this talk I give a short introduction into the basics. From the definition, the W3C standard, to the storing and accessing of it. To put these basics into context, I will show some examples of how we work with provenance data within the German Aerospace Center (DLR). I will thereby focus on the work of the department of intelligent and distributed systems where we use provenance data to monitor and analyse software development processes
