== Scope ==

The project will collect provenance of the data generated by GENI. The
provenance of an experiment is its lineage or historical trace that
can capture experiment conditions, time ordering, and relationships
within the experiment and across the experiment and infrastructure
layer. The project will develop a GENI Provenance Registry (netKarma)
that will capture the workflow of GENI slice creation, topology of the
slice, operational status and other measurement statistics and
correlate it with the experimental data. !NetKarma will allow
researchers to see the exact state of the network and store
configuration of the experiment and its slice.

[http://www.dataandsearch.org/provenance/?q=node/33, NetKarma] is based on the [http://www.dataandsearch.org/provenance/?q=taxonomy/term/3, Karma] 
provenance architecture that has been used to collect scientific workflows in diverse domains,
such as meteorology and life science.

=== Spiral 2 Connectivity ===

This project will use existing Indiana University address and connections. No addition connectivity is needed as initial data sources are globably availible on the Internet or over R&E networks.
