Provenance in the context of digital cultural heritage content: the Lithuanian approach

• Morepress: knygos tekstas

ENThe main objective of this article is to highlight issues of provenance in the digital environment as a fundamental concept of data quality. The article seeks to theoretically substantiate the notion that the provenance of information is crucial for determining the trustworthiness of information. By applying the EU 2–3–6 concept of added value for electronic publishing and qualitative content analysis of research literature, we conceptualized the following processes of provenance: Content Creation, Content Packaging, Market Making, Delivery Support and Services, and Interface and Systems. This approach also enabled us to identify the functions of provenance as well as their dimensions, and define provenance-related added value in Lithuania’s Information System of the Virtual Electronic Heritage (VEPIS).
