Provenance Management in Curated Databases

Summary: Proposes provenance management for curated databases by recording user actions during copying from sources to curated repositories to capture creation and attribution trails. An implementation evaluates the approach and shows overhead is reducible to acceptable levels with simple optimizations. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
