Abstract
The World Wide Web's provenance is an important feature. Provenance is important since it helps in establishing the appropriateness, legitimacy, and faithfulness of information, as well as whether the data item's information can be linked with other data. Provenance is metadata about an entity that provides information about the behavior, agent, and entity to users that contributed to its formation. The chapter describes the various provenance models and architecture. In the context of a university or academic institution's ontology, this chapter then introduces a domain-specific assertion regarding provenance by employing the PROV-DM data paradigm. It also describes the various provenance-capturing tools.
