DBNotes: A Post-It System for Relational Databases based on Provenance

Summary: DBNotes adds a Post-It style annotation layer on relational data, with annotations propagating along transformations via provenance. It introduces pSQL to control propagation (default, default-all, or custom), enables querying data and annotations, and provides provenance explanations with proofs plus a visual data journey interface.
