Object Management Group New Business Processing Modeling Standard to Track Pedigree and Provenance
Summary
The new specification will support tracking the pedigree (lineage) and provenance (ownership and custody) of physical as well as abstract things in the world. “In many industries organizations, individuals and other interested parties depend on the ability to assess the trustworthiness or authenticity of the things or entities they use and/or produce. OMG is seeking proposals for the Pedigree and Provenance Model & Notation (PPMN) specification that provide a solution to the problem of exchanging and displaying lineage, ownership, and custody of information in a standard way to facilitate the interoperability of tooling. Proposals should also include a method to express this information and display it to end users and a standard format for exchange between tools. About OMG The Object Management Group® (OMG®) is an international, open membership, not-for-profit technology standards consortium with representation from government, industry, and academia.
