What is data lineage?

Data lineage refers to the process of tracking and visualizing the flow of data as it moves through an organization’s systems, from its origin to its final destination. It helps organizations understand where data comes from, how it is transformed, and where it is stored or consumed. Data lineage is crucial for ensuring data quality, compliance, and troubleshooting data-related issues. It also supports effective data governance by providing transparency and traceability for data assets.
