FYI -

The Provenance Incubator is over.  This is their final report:
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/prov/XGR-prov-20101214/

The incubator also captured a nice set of use cases:

There is now a W3C Provenance Working Group:
http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/wiki/Main_Page

They have produced a ton of work and are proceeding rapidly to some
standards.

I have recently joined that group.

They recently did a survey of potential users of their provenance
work.  That survey is over and they have summarized its results and
are now planning a second survey.  When that is opened, I'll be
sure to forward a reference of it to these groups.
