A Survey of Provenance Models in Open Knowledge Graphs

"A Survey of Provenance Models in Open Knowledge Graphs" reviews the main approaches to recording provenance in public knowledge graphs, comparing their expressivity, query support, and real-world adoption. The paper argues that pragmatic, layered models tend to outperform fully expressive frameworks once editorial workflows are considered.

The work informs the Heritage Linked Data programme by clarifying which provenance patterns are realistic when integrating heterogeneous cultural heritage datasets.
