Managing and Reusing Provenance as a Critical Capability for (Data) Scientists

Provenance provides documentation that is key to preserve data, to determine the data’s quality and authorship, to understand, reproduce, as well as validate results. In this talk, I will review some of the state-of-the-art techniques, and discuss benefits of provenance that go beyond reproducibility, including the support for collaborative data exploration and visualization. I will also show how provenance can aid in teaching and enable reproducible publications.
