1.4 Future work
Future versions of this document could explore the applicability of different queries into the provenance information and address query performance depending on the storage
model. Future versions could also consider more optimizations to reduce the amount of information to be recorded.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this report, the definitions specified in Clause 4 of the OWS Common Implementation Standard [OGC 06-121r3] shall apply. In addition, the following terms
and definitions apply.
3.1
application profile a subtype of an OGC Implementation Standard OGC 08-062r4. It serves more detailed
information about a specific domain than the standard itself. An AP specifies required interfaces, bindings and encodings to publish and access data.
3.2
conflation a process of unifying two or more separate datasets, which share certain characteristics,
into one integrated all-encompassing result [OGC 12-159]
3.3
feature abstraction of real world phenomena [ISO 19101]
NOTE: A feature may occur as a type or an instance. Feature type or feature instance should be used
when only one is meant.
3.4
feature attribute characteristic of a feature [ISO 19109]
NOTE: A feature attribute has a name, a data type, and a value domain associated to it. A feature
attribute for a feature instance also has an attribute value taken from the value domain.
3.5
geographic information information concerning phenomena implicitly or explicitly associated with a location
relative to the Earth [OGC 01-101]
3.6
input data provided to a process [OGC 05-007r7]
