Skye-DSH

Skye-DSH is an experimental extension of Database-Supported Haskell with support for provenance tracking as described in "Language-integrated Provenance in Haskell", Jan Stolarek and James Cheney, The Art, Science, and Engineering of Programming, 2018, Vol. 2, Issue 3, Article 11. This project is a meta-project that uses git submodules to group together forks of several DSH subprojects. The main development branch is provenance in the dsh submodule. Skye-DSH currently supports where-provenance and lineage tracking.

Building and running

1. Get the sources:

   git clone https://github.com/jstolarek/skye-dsh
   cd skye-dsh
   git submodule init
   git submodule update
   

2. Install dependencies into a Cabal sandbox:

   ./sandbox-setup.sh
   cabal install --dependencies-only
   

3. Build and run the executable:

   cabal build
   ./dist/build/skye-dsh/skye-dsh ppdp2016travels
   

This assumes you have prepared the PPDP 2016 Travels database and a corresponding ODBC connection. See here for a description how to do that. On Debian 8 (and probably some other Linux distros) you can run ODBCManageDataSourcesQ4 to see a list of configured ODBC connections.

Documentation

There is no user documentation at the moment, but studying examples in src/Schema and src/Queries should give you an idea how provenance works.
