A Framework for Provenance Analysis and Visualization
Open accessAbstract
Data provenance is a fundamental concept in scientific experimentation. However, for their proper understanding and use, efficient and user-friendly mechanisms are needed. Research in software visualization, ontologies and complex networks can help in this process. This paper presents a framework to assist in the understanding and use of data provenance using visualization techniques, ontologies and complex networks. The framework capture the provenance data and generates new information using ontologies and provenance graph analysis. The graph is analyzed through complex networks techniques and provide some metrics to help in each node analyzes. The visualization presents and highlights the inferences and results. The framework was used in the E-SECO scientific ecosystem to support the scientific experimentation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
