Figure 4
The top part of this figure (above the triple line) shows the Nanopublication consisting of its three constitutive parts: Assertion, Provenance and Publication Info. Below the triple line is the Workflow pack which contains the Research Object (RO) as well as all the input and output data, workflows and results for the experiment. Note that the nanopublication and the workflow pack are separate entities that can exist in different locations. The two models are linked by the predicates shown in the figure as arrows crossing the triple line. In this way the nanopublication re-uses and exposes the detailed (and partially automatically generated) provenance from the RO. Note that multiple nanopublications can reference the same RO. Not shown in the figure is the possibility for the RO to link back to the nanopublication as one of the results of the experiment described by the RO
