Just so you know, the simulation data model already *is a* provenance model.
It was the first formal model for provenance (of theory results) in the IVOA.
It derived its provenance pattern from the (non-formal) "Domain Model for Astronomy" (Lemson, Dowler, Banday 2004) first discussed in ADASS 2003.
So maybe provenance and the other models can learn something from SimDM?

Cheers
