AN APPARATUS FOR ESTABLISHING METADATA

摘要

An apparatus for establishing provenance metadata for use with one or more data processing systems, eachoperable to process data, the apparatus comprising: a metadata generator, responsive to a first data processing system processing the data, for generating first provenance metadata associated with the processing; a constructor for constructing a first data structure comprising the data and the first provenance metadata; and a transmitter for transmitting the first data structure to a second data processing system operable to store the first provenance metadata in a storage component.
