In service-oriented environments, keeping track of the composition process along with the data transformations and services provides a rich amount of information for later reasoning. Current exploitation and application of this information, which is referred to as provenance data, is very limited as provenance systems started being developed for specific applications. Therefore, there is a need for a multi-functional architecture, which would be application-independent and could be deployed in
