Welcome to the Homepage of the OPMV Project

The OPMV framework provides a serialization of the Open Provenance Model to enable data publishers to publish their data responsibly.

Mission Statement

The Open Provenance Model Vocabulary is based on the community provenance data model, the Open Provenance Model (OPM). Although at this development stage OPMV does not aims to be an exact implementation of OPM, this is one ultimate goal of the project. Our goal is that the OPMV will be used together with other provenance-related RDF/OWL vocabularies/ontologies (such as Dublin Core, FOAF, Changeset Vocabulary, and the Provenance Vocabulary). As being grounded on OPM, the OPMV aims to assist the interoperability between provenance inforamtion on the Semantic Web.
