Abstract

VOs (Virtual Organizations) are now widely used mechanism for collaboration among heterogeneous nodes in open and distributed environments. In such environments, provenance tracks the usage of information that can be used for information reuse, repetition of simulations and providing integrity and trust for the chunk of information. Such information is valuable to be kept for later use in VOs due to their ad-hoc nature. In this paper, the authors propose complete provenance architecture for a collaborative mechanism in VOs. The author’s use XML (Extensible Markup Language) based system for collaborating information and RDF (Resource Description Framework) based system for representing provenance. Multi Agent based system is employed for tracking and recording provenance logs due to its autonomous nature. XML and RDF representations are based on our provenance ontology to ensure interoperability among heterogeneous architecture. The authors implemented the proposed provenance model on our test bed that depicts VO.
