Prov-WD: open publishing policy for science data not referenced

[Ole Streicher]

Sorry for another mail; I just forgot one point: The sentence does not
refer to "an open publishing policy", but to "that open publishing
policy", which implies that there is a very specific ("the") one. Even
if you replace "publishing" by "access", there is no commonly accepted
policy; you find several policies by different organizations.

But I do not see why provenance is related of Open Access at all: Open
Access only regulates how (and when) the data are published, not the
content of the data. You can have Open Access, f.e. to an article, or a
data file, that is not accompanied by provenance information.

As I wrote, the term "Open Publishing" is not commonly used; so whatever
is meant here (obviously *not* Open Access) should be explained or at
least accompanied by a reference.

Otherwise, this is just Buzzword Bingo.

FAIR data is not related open access, so the second part is not related
to the first; see

Best regards

Ole
