Provenance

I am looking at the question of data sources for the project. I have latched onto the question of provenance: tracking where data was generated, when, by who, for what. Here is some evidence for the project for my concern:

• Open issue: Add original citation information to the first row ...
• This mailing list conversation about provenance in RDF Re: CElegans MySQL Database
• This post requesting sources. Addressed(?) by Tim B's work on building a triple store for citations and such.
• A mention of the origins of the data on the current database

Other things that just are relevant to research into data sources

• This post about a video source for worm movement validation.
• This page from worm atlas which serves as the basis for much of the connectome google doc spreadsheet
• Schafer lab, which is often referred to in data discussions
• These incredibly helpful links from Stephen L.
  • http://www.textpresso.org/celegans/
  • Project References
  • Resources through Open Worm Science page

As a side note, I found this post from Jim H. that makes me feel better about my initial bewilderment with the project organization :) It's also a good reference for the state of the project's data about from about a year ago.
