The Provenance Specifications provide a framework for establishing trust, transparency, and verifiable history across digital systems, software projects, creative works, engineering assets, and knowledge repositories. They are designed to record where information, artifacts, and innovations originate, how they change over time, and how relationships between contributors, derivatives, dependencies, and versions can be verified. Core features include cryptographic records, append-only histories, lineage tracking, attribution management, evidence preservation, audit trails, dependency analysis, and mechanisms for reconstructing the evolution of digital assets.
These specifications enable organizations and communities to build systems where ownership, licensing, compliance, and authenticity can be independently verified. Features include AI output tracking, dataset and model lineage, software reuse detection, intellectual property monitoring, creator attribution chains, hardware design histories, verification workflows, semantic relationship mapping, and transparent accountability records. Together, they create infrastructure for maintaining trust in increasingly complex digital ecosystems by making the origin, transformation, and usage of information more visible and traceable.
All specifications are released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later (AGPL-3.0+) and may be freely used, modified, and distributed with the required attribution provisions outlined in Section 7 of the license. Organizations seeking attribution-free commercial deployment may obtain a Specification Branding License (SBL), with licensing terms and pricing based on the specification category, deployment scope, usage scale, and the size of the network or organization utilizing the specification.
