Provenance Information in Biomedical Knowledge Repositories - A Use Case

Olivier Bodenreider
2009 International Semantic Web Conference  
We present a use case for provenance information in biomedical knowledge repositories designed to support applications including information retrieval and knowledge discovery. We show that information about the knowledge sources from which statements are extracted must be recorded in addition to the statement themselves in order to support these applications. While the storage and processing of statements has been greatly facilitated by the emergence of powerful triple stores and the
