[kepler-users] visualization of data provenance in kepler

[Derik Barseghian]

Hi Yujia,
By default provenance records to a local HSQL database using the "SQL-SPA-8" format, but other options are available. Turn off the default style of recording by clicking the P button in the toolbar (so it's red), and dragging to workflow canvas a Provenance Recorder. Double-click on it to configure it, and change Recording Type to OPM XML.

It does seem like it may be possible though. This is what I would pursue if you are interested.

I don't think this project is being maintained, and I believe it is restrictive to comad workflows. I saw this browser working in the distant past and it looked useful, it would be nice if it were made to work with the released provenance module.
