Abstract
Provenance, or information about the origin or derivation of data, is important for assessing the trustworthiness of data and identifying and correcting mistakes. Most prior implementations of data provenance have involved heavyweight modifications to database systems and little attention has been paid to how the provenance data can be used outside such a system. We present extensions to the Links programming language that build on its support for language-integrated query to support provenance queries by rewriting and normalizing monadic comprehensions and extending the type system to distinguish provenance metadata from normal data. The main contribution of this article is to show that the two most common forms of provenance can be implemented efficiently and used safely as a programming language feature with no changes to the database system. • Definition of extensions to Links to support where-provenance and lineage. • Semantics and provenance correctness properties for both extensions. • Implementations of the extensions by type-preserving translation to plain Links. • Experimental evaluation of the implementations on a number of queries.
