Provenance at Creation

Wiki pages created from other sources by mechanical means should have a journal that starts with a Create action describing the source, means and results of the conversion.

See Json Schema, Transporting Hypertext

Json Schema

Transporting Hypertext

The action will follow a familiar schema with some specialized fields discussed at length.

The item describes the whole page as created without subsequent journal actions. A journal can contain multiple creates but each represents a new beginning of the story as might happen with multiple runs of an import script.

The source describes the source and means by which a page has been created. This can be as varied as import scripts but has been regularized to a small degree by Transport plugin methodologies.

The url is the resource locator for the source material. This would be the address dropped onto a Transport plugin.

The date is the last modification date of the source material if known, expressed in javascript epoch.

The rev is the source specific revision id of the source material if known.

The transporter is the POST endpoint used to transport the source to wiki json. It may not be public.

The repo is the public repository for the transporter used for the source conversion.
