Abstract: The purpose of this document is to propose a logical architecture for a provenance system. The logical architecture is specified independently of specific technologies. Specifically, we introduce our definition of provenance in the context of service-oriented architectures, and we identify the different roles that exist in a provenance system. This document is the first in a series of documents aiming at specifying an architecture for a provenance system. In the first instance, we focus on a logical architecture, which we characterise as a technology-independent abstract description of the different roles involved in provenance systems. In order to ground this presentation, we consider a broad view of service-orientation, which encompasses many of the technologies used to build distributed systems. In this context, we define our notion of provenance, itself derived from the common sense definition of provenance, which we then rely upon to elaborate our proposed architecture. In this document, numbers in the margin of this document refer to comments in the appendix, which may discuss
