Provenance in databases: Why, how, and where
Foundations and Trends® in Databases, 2009•nowpublishers.com
Different notions of provenance for database queries have been proposed and studied in
the past few years. In this article, we detail three main notions of database provenance,
some of their applications, and compare and contrast amongst them. Specifically, we review
why, how, and where provenance, describe the relationships among these notions of
provenance, and describe some of their applications in confidence computation, view
maintenance and update, debugging, and annotation propagation.
