- <h2 class="list">Introduction</h2>
- GDPRov (pronounced as GDPR-prov) is an
- <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-overview/">OWL2</a> ontology for describing the
- provenance of data and consent lifecycles using <a href="http://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/679/oj">GDPR</a> terminology. It extends
- the existing linked open data provenance ontologies - <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/prov-o/">PROV ontology (PROV-O)</a>
- and <a href="http://purl.org/net/p-plan">Ontology for Provenance and Plans (P-Plan)</a>. PROV-O is used to represent
- provenance information and is a W3C recommendation. GDPRov uses these
- provenance ontologies to express a data-flow model that can trace how consent
- and data are used by extending the appropriate vocabulary with GDPR-related
- terms.
- As the GDPR specifies several requirements over the use of consent and personal
- data, the compliance documentation for it requires a provenance trace of
- how the consent and personal data were obtained, and all processes that
- act on them. Additionally, GDPR also provides the data subject with several
- rights that also require maintaining provenance traces. GDPRov aims to provide
- a base ontology for the expression of such provenance traces which can provide
- beneficial in the development of compliance related documentation and approaches
- as well as GDPR related tools and utilities.
