Understanding Data Lineage : Data Lineage Blueprint

Data lineage helps organizations understand how data moves, changes, and connects across business processes, data structures, and IT systems. However, different interpretations of data lineage can lead to inconsistent scope and deliverables.

This course examines the meaning of data lineage and its relationships with similar concepts. You will explore four abstraction levels: business, conceptual, logical, and physical. The course then introduces a data lineage metamodel that connects layers, components, objects, and metadata. Through a practical exercise and the XYZ Company example, you will learn how to adapt this blueprint to your organization.

Finally, you will examine how different Data Management capabilities contribute to data lineage and assess the dependencies that influence its development.
