A new DCMI Task Group has been established on the issue of Metadata Provenance. The group aims to define an application profile that allows for making assertions about description statements or description sets, creating a shared model of the data elements required to describe an aggregation of metadata statements in order to collectively import, access, use and publish facts about the quality, rights, timeliness, data source type, trust situation, etc. of the described statements.

Role of the OEG in the group

The OEG, in particular Daniel Garijo, participates in the weekly discussions, contributing to the domain model, providing use case examples and mappings to other popular provenance models.
