Abstract: Data provenance models are the core support of the data provenance technology system.Aiming at the problems of difficult cross-domain reuse and large structural differences of existing data provenance models,this paper systematically analyzes the technical evolution and practical applications of eight typical provenance models such as OPM and ProVOC,and extracts two core demands of data provenance:tracing data flow links and tracking data state evolution.This paper summarizes the model elements,structures and provenance information descriptions contained in the eight provenance models to meet the core demands.Two basic frameworks of provenance models are constructed respectively for tracing data flow links and tracking data state evolution,and the application extension methods of the basic frameworks for special provenance requirements in different application fields are further proposed.Finally,combined with the data provenance requirements in the field of data management,this paper designs provenance models that can realize problem tracing in specific application fields by adopting the two basic frameworks and their application extension methods,which verifies the scientificity and general applicability of the constructed basic frameworks and the effectiveness of the application extension methods.

Key words: Data provenance model, Circulation link traceability, State evolution traceability, Basic framework of provenance mo-dels
