- Who it helps
- Design researchers and teams considering provenance interfaces.
- Availability
- October 27 paper is public. A generally available editor or runnable release was not established.
Spatial provenance
The research interface links image regions to editing events and presents a heat map. Spatial provenance means a record tied to the part of the image affected.
What participants reported
Twenty participants reviewed their edits and credited contributions. The history helped recall interactions, but did not always change credit judgments. The study concerns how people interpret contribution; it does not establish ownership or a universal attribution score.
