Efficient Provenance Storage

Summary: Proposes efficient provenance storage via three techniques—factorization and two inheritance-based methods—to reduce provenance data while preserving queryability. Applied to MiMI, Karma, and PReServ, it yields up to 20x storage reduction with efficient queries and cheap incremental updates. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
