Data lineage can be described as a historical map of data’s journey within an organization. Use cases, in general, provide an example of how services or techniques can be used, and data lineage use cases are situations in which a form of data lineage can be used.
Data lineage tools make tracking the data’s lineage much easier. (Attempting to perform data lineage manually is tedious and time-consuming.)
Creating data lineage maps requires recording how the data has been processed, transformed, and transmitted, and is commonly used to ensure that decisions are based on accurate data. Data lineage has become an important part of intelligent decision-making for many modern businesses. However, tracking the flow of data from source to destination can be complex.
