[ImageDM]: Provenance

There are a few more cases than Mireille identified.
I laid that out in a draft note on provenance metadata for individual data
objects:
http://hea-www.cfa.harvard.edu/~arots/VAO/Provenance/ProvenanceMetadata.pdf
http://hea-www.cfa.harvard.edu/~arots/VAO/Provenance/ProvenanceMetadataSummary.pdf

At the very least Provenance metadata need to contain two things:
One or two Relationship value:
  Primary (for services and data objects)
  Mirror of (for services)
  Service for (for services)
  Derived from (for data objects)
  Copy of (for data objects)
  Served by (for data objects)
And one or more RelationshipIDs (URIs, persistent identifiers) associated
with the Relationship.
