Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques of dynamically assembling and utilizing a pedigree of a resource. A pedigree of a resource is a set of statements that describe a provenance of the resource. As described herein, a set of one or more servers may host context objects that contain the statements that make up the pedigree of the resource. In order to obtain the pedigree of the resource, a context assembly device may send queries to the servers for context objects that are likely to contain statements in the pedigree of the resource. After receiving context objects from the servers in response to the queries, the context assembly device may query the statements in the received context objects in order to identify, among the statements in the context objects, the statements that constitute the pedigree of the resource. The dynamically assembled pedigree may then be used in a variety of ways.
