Data Lineage: Knowledge, Evidence and Proof with Dr Arka Mukherjee
As companies attempt to harness the value from Data-Centric Digital Transformation, CDO’s are gradually shifting focus from Static Data to Dynamic Data. Faced with questions related to change, flow and evolution, organizations are attempting to understand their Data Ecosystems in a more holistic manner. The problem of Data Lineage is beginning to show up on the CDO agenda.
With regulatory bodies demanding more objective evidence of data lineage, the data management community needs to advance from attestation to scientific proof. In this presentation, we will talk about an advanced approach to data lineage that is based more on science than art. Different types of proofs will be discussed, and perspectives of definitive proof will be presented.
