Dates	November 16-21, 2025
Location	Schloss Dagstuhl – Wadern, Germany

More and more, we find that the provenance of data is a key missing ingredient in the information set made available to us. Provenance - the origination and intention of data as collected - provides significant challenges for modern networks. While standards exist for describing data and its analysis - and even for parts of the provenance chain - there is no standard mechanism for tying together all relevant information across the series of steps which fully describe the origination of data. This workshop explores how the many contextualising factors needed to support responsible and accurate data reuse can be described, allowing for the needed chaining of provenance steps.
