Abstract

Web pages are regularly constructed through combining content from multiple providers (e.g. photos from Flickr, quotes from the New York Times). As a result, it is often difficult for users and programmers to retrieve the provenance of a web page. Here, we present a JavaScript library, ProvenanceJS, that allows for the retrieval and visualization of the provenance information within a Web page and its embedded content. A key contribution is to demonstrate that provenance can be supported using widely deployed browser-based technologies.
