  &quot;The PROV data model, PROV-DM, a generic data model for provenance that allows domain
       and application specific representations of provenance to be translated into such a data
       model and interchanged between systems. Thus, heterogeneous systems can export their native
       provenance into such a core data model, and applications that need to make sense of provenance
       can then import it, process it, and reason over it.
  A key goal of PROV is the specification of a machine-processable data model for provenance.
       However, communicating provenance between humans is also important when teaching, illustrating,
       formalizing, and discussing provenance-related issues.  With these two requirements in
       mind, this document introduces PROV-N, the PROV notation, a syntax designed to write instances
       of the PROV data model according to the following design principles: •Technology independence.
       PROV-N provides a simple syntax that can be mapped to several technologies. 
  •Human readability. PROV-N follows a functional syntax style that is meant to be easily
       human-readable so it can be used in illustrative examples, such as those presented in
       the PROV documents suite. 
  •Formality. PROV-N is defined through a formal grammar amenable to be used with parser
       generators.&quot;
