# prov.model

`prov.model` is the core of the library: the in-memory object model for
[PROV-DM](https://www.w3.org/TR/prov-dm/) documents. A {py:class}`~prov.model.ProvDocument`
contains {py:class}`~prov.model.ProvBundle`\ s of records — elements (entities, activities,
agents) and relations between them — plus the namespace machinery used to build and resolve
their identifiers. See the {doc}`../tutorial/getting-started` for a walk-through of building
a document with this API, and the
[PROV-DM Primer](https://www.w3.org/TR/prov-primer/) for the concepts behind the classes
below.
