Data lineage
Quick answer
A map of where data came from and every step it passed through before reaching its current form.
Lineage tracks sources, transformations, merges and filters. It answers questions such as which system a field came from and which records were removed during cleaning.
For licensed datasets, lineage backs up the dataset documentation and helps both sides confirm that excluded records stayed excluded.
