Objective, Scope and Participation
This workshop contributes to the work of Working Group 3 (WG3) of CPP4ALL by exploring how provenance information can be collectively produced, shared, verified, and ethically governed across local, national, and transnational levels. The workshop introduces and operationalises the concept of comprehensive provenance ecosystems, collaborative and transdisciplinary frameworks that connect museums, archives, researchers, source communities, legal experts, financial investigators, law enforcement actors, policymakers, and digital infrastructures.
Contributions are invited that address one or more of the following thematic areas:
- Provenance ecosystem design: Models for multi-stakeholder collaboration in provenance research, documentation, and sharing across museums, archives, source communities, and law enforcement.
- Ethical governance of provenance data: Transparency, accountability, and the rights of source communities in the production and use of provenance information.
- Transnational and cross-sector coordination: Mechanisms for aligning provenance standards and practices across jurisdictions, including EU and non-EU contexts.
- Digital infrastructures and interoperability: Databases, linked open data, blockchain, AI-assisted provenance tracing, and the technical conditions for responsible information sharing.
- Financial investigation and asset recovery: The role of financial intelligence and anti-money laundering frameworks in provenance-linked asset recovery and restitution.
- Policy and legal frameworks: Gaps, divergences, and convergences in national and international law relevant to provenance obligations, disclosure, and due diligence.
- Interdisciplinary and practice-based approaches: Contributions drawing on archaeology,art history, technologies, conservation studies, criminology, law, information science, and community studies are particularly welcomed.
