About this tool
Data Lineage Reference
The Data Lineage Reference covers column-level lineage, dbt DAG, OpenLineage standard, Marquez, data catalogs, and impact analysis from lineage graphs.
• Look up dbt lineage documentation approach before a data governance project
• Reference OpenLineage before integrating lineage from Airflow and dbt
• Find data catalog options before choosing a metadata platform
• Understand column-level lineage before an impact analysis for a schema change

FAQ
What does this tool tell you?
The Data Lineage Reference covers column-level lineage, dbt DAG, OpenLineage standard, Marquez, data catalogs, and impact analysis from lineage graphs.
What affects the result most?
Data lineage: tracks origin, transformation, and movement of data across the pipeline. Column-level lineage: which source column contributed to each output column — fine-grained impact analysis. dbt lineage: dbt docs generate produces DAG — visual lineage for SQL transformation models.
How should I use the result?
Use this tool to orient quickly to the concepts, field names, or values you are about to look up in a full specification or vendor documentation. It summarizes the common cases; the authoritative source remains whichever standard or vendor doc defines the values themselves.
