Abstract:
There are still some gaps regarding to the complete geospatial provenance description that impede the use of provenance for replication and reproducibility task. In addition, the lack of automated tools for capturing the provenance information is an obstacle to common generation of provenance information. In this sense, we present a tool that captures and represents provenance information based on the combined use of Web Processing Service (WPS) standard and the ISO 19115 lineage model. The tool, developed in the frame of the MiraMon GIS and RS software, shows a graphical visualization of provenance and allows users to edit provenance information by adding or deleting processes steps or sources to a geospatial workflow. The automatic capture of lineage information is a step forward in the development of a model constructor tool. It will allow reproducing previous processes workflows and scaling them up to other similar situations.
