第三次起源挑战赛 (PC3) 为起源研究人员提供了一个评估领先起源模型的互操作性的机会，特别强调导入和查询其他人生成的工作流程跟踪。我们研究了与重用基于开放来源模型 (OPM) 的工作流跟踪相关的互操作性问题。我们编译了在 PC3 期间观察到的互操作性问题的数据，并使用这些数据来帮助描述和激发基于 OPM 的来源数据重用中两个突出的互操作性问题的解决方案路径：(i) 来源跟踪通常需要通用来源数据和特定于域的数据来支持未来的重用（例如查询）； (ii) 不同的来源痕迹（可能来自不同的来源）通常需要保存和互连，以支持未来的汇总和比较。为了解决这些问题并促进溯源数据的互操作重用、集成和对齐，我们提出了一种基于语义 Web 的方法，称为链接溯源数据，其中：（i）Web 本体语言（OWL）可用于支持复杂的领域概念建模，例如子类型分类和概念对齐，并将域扩展无缝连接到 OPM 核心概念； (ii) 关联数据可以为来源数据重用提供开放和透明的基础设施。 (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
The Third Provenance Challenge (PC3) offered an opportunity for provenance researchers to evaluate the interoperability of leading provenance models with special emphasis on importing and querying workflow traces generated by others. We investigated interoperability issues related to reusing Open Provenance Model (OPM)-based workflow traces. We compiled data about interoperability issues that were observed during PC3 and use that data to help describe and motivate solution paths for two outstanding interoperability issues in OPM-based provenance data reuse: (i) a provenance trace often requires both generic provenance data and domain-specific data to support future reuse (such as querying); (ii) diverse provenance traces (possibly from different sources) often require preservation and interconnection to support future aggregation and comparison. In order to address these issues and to facilitate interoperable reuse, integration, and alignment of provenance data, we propose a Semantic Web-based approach known as Linked Provenance Data, where: (i) the Web Ontology Language (OWL) can be used to support complex domain concept modeling, such as subtype taxonomy and concept alignment, and seamlessly connect domain extensions to OPM core concepts; (ii) Linked Data can enable open and transparent infrastructure for provenance data reuse.
