| description | Open Educational Resources (OER) can be adapted and combined to create new resources that better meet the specific needs of different kinds of users and scenarios. In this sense, OER strongly contributes to generating and sharing educational knowledge. Due to the possibility of creating a new OER through the revision and remix activities, the original OER and the transformation process should be adequately identified. This way, the user of the OER has enough information about the history of the resource and, thus, can use it with confidence and security. In this context, determining data provenance, which describes the history of a data from its origin to its current state, becomes very relevant. For OER, there are examples of metadata standards and digital repositories that help to obtain the data provenance. However, the information collected is insufficient to identify the entire history of the provenance of OER. This article proposes a Provenance Model for OER called the ProvOER Model, which allows the documentation and identification of the provenance of OER. For this purpose, a minimum set of metadata was defined that reflects the OER intrinsic properties and the activities that created a new OER. The experiments showed that the ProvOER Model produced a suitable representation of the provenance of OER. In addition, the ProvOER Model allowed identifying the original OER used in a revise or remix activity and the continuous stretch used to create a new resource. |
