The namespace name https://dew-uff.github.io/versioned-prov/ns# is intended for use with the PROV family of documents to represent Versioned-PROV extension.
The attribute version:access
in prov:wasDerivedFrom
indicates whether the derivation was a read (r
) or a write (w
). The only valid values are r
and w
.
The attribute version:checkpoint
in prov:wasDerivedFrom
indicates the moment a derivation occurred. It is required when the prov:type
is version:Reference
.
The attribute version:checkpoint
in prov:hadMember
indicates the moment a member were inserted or removed from the a collection.
The checkpoint can be any sortable data type (e.g., datetime, int), but it has to be consistent across all the document.
The attribute version:key
in prov:hadMember
indicates which key/position a member represents in a collection.
The attribute version:key
in prov:wasDerivedFrom
indicates which key/position were accessed/changed from the collection represented by version:collection
.
The attribute version:collection
in prov:wasDerivedFrom
indicates which entity was accesses/changed by the derivation.
The version:Add
type of prov:hadMember
indicates that a member was inserted into a list/set collection at a given checkpoint.
If prov:hadMember
has a version:key
, it shifts all keys that occur after the inserted version:key
. Otherwise, it adds the element at the end of the collection.
The version:Add
type of prov:hadMember
indicates that a member was removed from a collection at a given checkpoint.
If a version:key
is provided, it shifts all keys that occur after it.
The version:Put
type of prov:hadMember
indicates that a member was added or deleted from a collection in a given version:key
at a given version:checkpoint
. If the member is a placeholder or a VoidEntity, it means that the member at the specific version:key
position was removed.
The version:Reference
type of prov:wasDerivedFrom
indicates that an entity was derived from another through a binding of a reference. Thus, both entities share the same members.
The version:VoidEntity
type of prov:entity
represents an empty entity that can be used as member of prov:hadMember
with type version:Put
to remove elements from a collection.
