====== 10.10 Record Audit and Provenance ======
[[fxdemo:02-part:start | Go To Top ]]

The Record Audit and Provenance pattern allows a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_node|Logical Node]] to record information needed for reconstruction, accountability, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_information_lineage|lineage]], auditability, replay, recovery, review, and defensibility.

An audit or provenance-producing [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_node|Logical Node]] records relationships among [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_data_structure_instance|Logical Data Structure Instances]], [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_node|Logical Nodes]], [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_communication_endpoint|Logical Communication Endpoints]], Runtime Planes, decisions, rule versions, model versions, timestamps, and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] expectations.

The interaction belongs primarily to the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_audit_and_provenance_plane|Logical Audit and Provenance Plane]]. It also supports other planes by recording what occurred within them and how information moved across them.

Table 10-9:	Record Audit and Provenance logical interaction pattern

^ Element ^ Logical treatment ^
| Primary Runtime Plane | [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_audit_and_provenance_plane|Logical Audit and Provenance Plane]] |
| Producing Logical Node Role | Auditor, Provenance Producer, Validator, Interpreter, Policy Node, or Domain Information Producer |
| Consuming Logical Node Role | Audit Node, Provenance Node, Evidence Node, Oversight Node, or Replay Node |
| Primary information | Audit record, provenance record, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_information_lineage|lineage]] record, or evidence-supporting record |
| Supporting information | Input references, output references, producing [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_node|Logical Node]], consuming [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_node|Logical Node]], endpoint, rule version, timestamp |
| Traceability expectation | Audit and provenance records trace to the related information, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_node|Logical Nodes]], endpoints, interactions, rules, and decisions. |
| Evidence expectation | Preserved audit and provenance records support review, reconstruction, replay, and defensibility. |
