it is rooted in that idea. RDF triples can be used to express specific types of
relationships and establish different connections among entities. There would be no
need to agree that certain elements are integral to provenance and to reject certain
others: the story could simply be told, and the model for telling it could be made
sufficiently comprehensive to allow everyone to tell their stories.
Therefore, the digital environment is indeed a source of new problems, but it is also
an opportunity to review and refine established practices and concepts. Probably
technology is not the hardest issue. The major challenge is a change of mindset, that
is, moving from a Ctrl-c Ctrl-v attitude, a trivial operation "where much provenance
gets lost," (Buneman, Davidson, 2010) to a more responsible approach that could
be supported by and embedded into system design. After all, there is already Privacy
by Design, Quality by Design, Security by Design, and so on - the time has come for
Provenance by Design.
