=== Publishing a WMO Core Metadata Profile record with data provenance

Data provenance provides the ability to describe an audit trail for the lifecycle of a given dataset.

In WCMP2, one can provide linkages to provenance information via a dedicated link object.

.Expressing data provenance as a WCMP2 link
[source,json]
----
{
"rel": "describedBy",
"type": "text/html",
"title": "Provenance information for this dataset",
"href": "https://example.org/dataset1.html"
}
----

As with any WCMP2 link, the URL itself is defined by the data publisher. The ``describedBy`` attribute (which is an https://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations/link-relations.xhtml[official IANA link relation]) is the signal for identifying data provenance by a user assessing and reviewing dataset history and lineage.
