Sequence 211 — Manual lineage and stewardship context

Context: Chapter 12 - Metadata Management | Applied Lab Deepening
Source: CDMP Master Execution Manual

When / purpose

Trace where Meridian data came from, how it changed, and who is accountable before platform automation.

What you should learn

Lineage is more than a diagram; it supports impact, trust and explanation.
Technical lineage and business context are related but not identical.
Owners/stewards provide accountability context.
Unknown lineage should remain explicitly unknown until evidenced.

What to read / study

MUST: Earlier Meridian integration/warehouse artifacts — reuse source-to-target mappings and transformations; do not fabricate lineage edges.
REFERENCE: Chapter 12 manual metadata artifacts — link definitions and assets to lineage; manual understanding first.

Do this in order

Select one KPI/data product candidate and one operational field.
Trace source -> transformation -> target/consumer using evidence.
Add owner/steward and business definition context.
Mark unknown steps.
Write one impact-analysis question the lineage can answer.

Meridian application

Use the same Meridian data path you built earlier rather than a toy lineage diagram.

Create / save

Lineage map + accountability annotations.

Stop / boundary

Stay inside the current source/skill boundary. Do not pre-learn later chapters or engineering depth. Unknown lineage stays unknown until evidenced.

Completion gate

You can explain each lineage edge and which parts are evidenced versus assumed.
