The International Provenance and Annotation Workshop (IPAW) is biannual workshop that is concerned with issues of data provenance, data derivation, and data annotation. It brings together computer scientists from different areas and provenance users to discuss open problems related to the provenance of computation and non-computational artifacts.

The proceedings for IPAW were published by Springer between 2008 - 2021. Proceedings in 2023 are part of the WebConf satellite proceedings. The proceedings in 2025 are part of the SIGMOD satellite proceedings.
