Collect Provenance

Once installed a libraried, you can now easily collect provenance from any script:

library(ProvR)
prov.capture("example.R")

The provenance will be stored in memory as a JSON formatted string following the W3C PROV-JSON standard format , which can be accessed like so:

prov.json()

You can write the provenance to your hard drive by doing the following:

prov.capture("example.R", save = TRUE)

ProvR is a simplified fork of the RDataTracker
