Multilevel data lineage view

Abstract:

A multilevel data lineage view system disclosed herein allows generating higher level data lineage views. An implementation of the multilevel data lineage view system is implemented using various computer process instructions including receiving information about a plurality of objects, wherein at least some of the objects are organized in a hierarchy, determining relations between at least some of these objects at a first level in the hierarchy, and inferring relationships between the objects at a second level in the hierarchy based on the relationships between the objects at the first level in the hierarchy based on a count of assets of constituent parts of the objects at the first level in the hierarchy, wherein the second level is above the first level in the hierarchy.
