A library for W3C Provenance Data Model supporting PROV-O (RDF), PROV-XML, PROV-JSON import/export

* Free software: MIT license
* Documentation: http://prov.readthedocs.io/.
* Python 3 only.

Features
--------

* An implementation of the `W3C PROV Data Model <http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-dm/>`_ in Python.
* In-memory classes for PROV assertions, which can then be output as `PROV-N <http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-n/>`_
* Serialization and deserialization support: `PROV-O <http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-o/>`_ (RDF), `PROV-XML <http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-xml/>`_ and `PROV-JSON <http://www.w3.org/Submission/prov-json/>`_.
* Exporting PROV documents into various graphical formats (e.g. PDF, PNG, SVG).
* Convert a PROV document to a `Networkx MultiDiGraph <https://networkx.github.io/documentation/stable/reference/classes/multidigraph.html>`_ and back.
