Collibra Data Lineage is a product that allows you to trace how data flows from source to destination. It consists of two components to accommodate two different personas:
- A technical lineage for Data Engineers, Data Architects and similar personas.
- A diagram with Business Summary Lineage for Business Analysts and other business users.
Technical lineage is a detailed lineage graph that shows where data objects are used and how they are transformed. A diagram with the Business Summary Lineage shows the relations between Data Assets in Data Catalog after stitching. Both map the flow of data, but a technical lineage provides a detailed overview of the data flow, while a diagram with Business Summary Lineage only provides a summary of it.
Note Collibra Data Lineage is only a cloud-only feature.
