OpenLineage
An open standard for collecting dataset and job lineage metadata across tools.
The governance lens
The recorded history of a data element — where it came from, what was done to it, and by which job — sufficient to trace an output back to its sources. Definition and why it matters →
The closest existing thing to chain of title for data, and it is almost never discussed in AI governance — a lineage event is exactly the record a model provenance representation would need to cite.
There is no shortage of writing about OpenLineage. This register asks the question the general coverage does not: what does it contribute to governing an autonomous system that touches capital, and where does that contribution stop?
