The e-Science Institute (eSI) has announced a workshop entitled “Use Cases for Provenance” to take place in Edinburgh on Monday 20 April in Edinburgh. The aim of the workshop is to identify usage scenarios, open problems and ambitious goals for research concerning provenance in eScience and scientific data management. The workshop will be of interest to: scientific disciplines in which sophisticated database, Grid, or eScience technology is already in widespread use; disciplines where such technology is not widely used but conceivably will be in the future, and; to researchers and developers working on provenance and scientific data management or eScience technology. Speakers will include Alex Ball of UKOLN who will be presenting on the role of provenance in Engineering industries. The registration deadline is 13 April.
