Abstract
A data lineage system tracks performance of data flows through different transformations independent of the systems that perform the transformations. A data flow model is maintained as a graph in the data lineage system that is updated by data processors to include performance history of different transformations in the data flow. Subsequent analyses of the data flow model, such as tracing particular data, can be supported using the recorded performance information in the graph of the data flow model.
