C2Metadata: Automating the Capture of Data Transformations from Statistical Scripts in Data Documentation

Summary: Automates capture of transformations from statistical scripts into provenance metadata. Introduces SDTA, a compact algebra for transformations, implemented in SDTL; enables provenance tracing (SPSS, Stata; SAS/R coming) across languages via a web UI.
