Abstract
We introduce the PROV family of standards and key ideas and concepts relating to PROV. The chapter describes PROV and scenarios in which a reader might use it. We introduce the core components in PROV, entities, activities, and agents, and we create simple diagrams and Python snippets using simplified wine making processes as an example.
