Web resources can be linked directly to their provenance, as specified in W3C PROV-AQ. On its own, this solution places all responsibility to the resource’s publisher, who hopefully maintains and publishes provenance information. In reality, however, most publishers lack of incentives to publish the resources’ provenance, even if the authors would like such information to be published. Currently it is impossible to link existing resources to new provenance information, either provided by the author or a third party. In this paper, we present a solution for this problem, by implementing a lightweight, read/write provenance query service, integrated with a pingback mechanism, following PROV-AQ.
