While information that is provenance is available for many datasets and from many sources, it has been noted at several provenance events that it’s hard to find information that is actually indicated as being provenance information. 

Here we list some sources of information identified as provenance information by members of the Research Data Provenance IG and indicate whether it follows a provenance standard or not.
