Summary: Provenance helps with understanding data but without proper tools to share and access content, its reusability is limited. This paper describes the CI-Server framework currently being used to help scientific teams seamlessly share data and provenance about scientific research. CI-Server has been built using Drupal, a content management server workbench, with a focus on publishing and understanding the semantic content that is now available over the Web. By focusing on an open framework, scientists publish provenance related to their scientific research then leverage the semantic knowledge to understand and visualize the information.
