Call for Participation 6th Workshop on the Theory and Practice of Provenance (TaPP'14) In cooperation with USENIX June 12-13, 2014 Provenance Week June 9-13, 2014 German Aerospace Center (DLR), Cologne, Germany Provenance provides needed insight into the origins and derivation of data. Provenance provides documentation that is an essential part of data quality assessments, debugging and search. Topics in provenance range from: capture, storage, usage, security, interoperability. Of particular interest are the fundamental areas that must be solved in order to make provenance a useful and usable tool in the world today. What theoretical problems need to be solved? What practical problems can we tackle? What lessons have we learned from real implementations?
