Provenance in Keyword Search

Summary: Advocates systematically recording provenance of keyword-search scoring to make ranking explainable and to address limitations of current explainers (e.g., Lucene). Proposes three components: a scoring ontology, an XML scoring schema with parametric natural-language annotations, and a provenance query language/UI to answer how-/why-/where-provenance.
