           Summary: support for writing COMAD-style trace files from the
                    Provenance Recorder
           Product: Kepler
           Version: 1.0.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: mcphillips at ecoinformatics.org
        ReportedBy: mcphillips at ecoinformatics.org

I have heard rumors that there are plans to enable the general-purpose
Provenance Recorder in Kepler to (optionally) write out it's records of a run
using the trace file format employed by the COMAD framework.  This would be
extremely helpful because one could then view the provenance captured during
any workflow run via the provenance browser.  

I expect that this also would highlight information that cannot be stored in a
COMAD trace or represented in the provenance browser, and so lead to
enhancements of these to make them more generally useful.
