[ogsa-d-wg] FW: Data Provenance Scenario

[Stephen Davey]

Hi,
I have an action:
"Stephen to ask Luc's provenance team why they have chosen a separate
provenance store."

Luc's answer is below. Basically he says that it is a logically separate
provenance store, but that it isn't necessarily physically separate.

I'll not be able to make the telcon again this week - apologies.

Cheers, Stephen.

Stephen,
Sorry I forgot to reply to your message.

In our deployment of the OTM, the provenance store is physically 
separated from the data.
However, agreed with you, in other applicants you could see the 
provenance store as an extra port
on your data storage, with data and process documentation all stored in 
a common physical
storage.
