Data provenance is a historical record of source data, a way to understand the journey of data throughout the organization. Data provenance plays a crucial role in understanding the quality of your data and ensuring its veracity. It’s like a detailed travel log for data, showing where it came from, where it has been, and how it has changed over time.
Why it matters: Knowing a data’s origin and transformations ensures accuracy, trust, and compliance across systems and applications.
