Abstract
Various automated data flow tracking techniques can involve obtaining metadata identifying the data items from multiple data sources and using that information to identify the relationships among the data items. This information can then be provided to users. For example, a method can involve receiving a query; accessing metadata, which identifies data items generated by multiple data sources; identifying a set of responsive data items from among the available data items; identifying one or more relationships between the data items in the set of responsive data items, and responding to the query with information identifying the set of responsive data items and the one or more relationships.
