Data Lineage

Written by Chandan Gaur | 19 Jan 2023

The data lineage identifies the origin of the data. It includes:

  • The origin of the data.
  • Each stop along the way.
  • An explanation of how and why the data has moved over time.

Data lineage enables users to visualize the flow of information from source to destination. The process provides granular data visibility for operational aspects, error analysis, and resolution. Thus making it easier for data scientists and engineers

to troubleshoot, achieve system migrations, bring data discovery and metadata closer, and implement process changes with less risk.
