In this decade astronomy is undergoing a paradigm shift to handle data from next generation observatories such as the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) or the Vera C. Rubin Observatory (LSST). Producing real time data streams of up to 10 TB/s…
We present here a provenance management system adapted to astronomical projects needs. We collected use cases from various astronomy projects and defined a data model in the ecosystem developed by the IVOA (International Virtual Observatory…
Provenance for database queries or scientific workflows is often motivated as providing explanation, increasing understanding of the underlying data sources and processes used to compute the query, and reproducibility, the capability to…
Provenance management must be present to enhance the overall security and reliability of long-tail microscopy (LTM) data management systems. However, there are challenges in provenance for domains with LTM data. The provenance data need to…
Data provenance has numerous applications in the context of data preparation pipelines. It can be used for debugging faulty pipelines, interpreting results, verifying fairness, and identifying data quality issues, which may affect the…
Recently the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA) released a standard to structure provenance metadata, and several implementations are in development in order to capture, store, access and visualize the provenance of astronomy…
In the context of astronomy projects, scientists have been confronted with the problem of describing in a standardized way how their data have been produced. As presented in a talk at last year's ADASS, the International Virtual Observatory…
The availability of vast quantities of data through electronic archives has transformed astronomical research. It has also enabled the creation of new products, models and simulations, often from distributed input data and models, that are…
As the demand for large scale AI models continues to grow, the optimization of their training to balance computational efficiency, execution time, accuracy and energy consumption represents a critical multidimensional challenge. Achieving…
We present the data model, design choices, and performance of ProvSQL, a general and easy-to-deploy provenance tracking and probabilistic database system implemented as a PostgreSQL extension. ProvSQL's data and query models closely reflect…
Provenance is information about the origin, derivation, ownership, or history of an object. It has recently been studied extensively in scientific databases and other settings due to its importance in helping scientists judge data validity,…
Effective provenance tracking enhances reproducibility, governance, and data quality in array workflows. However, significant challenges arise in capturing this provenance, including: (1) rapidly evolving APIs, (2) diverse operation types,…
Data provenance (the process of determining the origin and derivation of data outputs) has applications across multiple domains including explaining database query results and auditing scientific workflows. Despite decades of research,…
Long-term data-driven studies have become indispensable in many areas of science. Often, the data formats, structures and semantics of data change over time, the data sets evolve. Therefore, studies over several decades in particular have…
In the Virtual Observatory era, where we intend to expose scientists (or software agents on their behalf) to a stream of observations from all existing facilities, the ability to access and to further interpret the origin, relationships,…
Provenance sketches, light-weight indexes that record what data is needed (is relevant) for answering a query, can significantly improve performance of important classes of queries (e.g., HAVING and top-k queries). Given a horizontal…
Data volumes and rates of research infrastructures will continue to increase in the upcoming years and impact how we interact with their final data products. Little of the processed data can be directly investigated and most of it will be…
Existing RDF serialization formats such as Turtle, N-Quads, and JSON-LD are widely used for communication and storage in knowledge graph and Semantic Web applications. However, they suffer from limitations in performance, compression ratio,…
We study in this paper provenance information for queries with aggregation. Provenance information was studied in the context of various query languages that do not allow for aggregation, and recent work has suggested to capture provenance…
A well-established technique for capturing database provenance as annotations on data is to instrument queries to propagate such annotations. However, even sophisticated query optimizers often fail to produce efficient execution plans for…
