Modeling provenance in marine survey project

Marine survey provides many kinds of oceanic samples and large volume of corresponding data, which are treasurable materials for further scientific researches, and should be shared among scientists, agents or organizations from different areas. In this paper, we contribute to the design of a domain-specific provenance model based on the PROV-DM model for Marine survey project. We start from an analysis of marine survey workflow, followed by an investigation of the provenance requirements. After determine what provenance information to represent, we introduce the W3C PROV family and model domain provenance by extending it. Finally, we make a conclusion and prospect future work.
