14 +The [[W3C PROV standard>>https://www.w3.org/TR/2013/NOTE-prov-overview-20130430/||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] provides a data model and related tools for provenance interchange on the web. The following diagram shows the three base classes of the PROV data model: Entity, Activity, and Agent. These three classes form the basis for the representation of provenance in the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph: every node in the KG has a type which is a subclass of one of these base classes.

20 +We present here the current schemas for representing (a) data analysis and (b) simulations in the Knowledge Graph. These schemas will need to be extended to cover neurorobotics simulations, and probably a more explicit representation of pipelines/workflows (the chaining together of multiple analysis / simulation stages) will be needed.
