At its core, the role of data governance is to establish trust in data—the quality of the data and its sources, the integrity of the data and how it is used, and the security of data information throughout the enterprise system and the entirety of the data lifecycle. By providing visibility into how data flows throughout the systems of your environment as well as transparency in the sourcing, structure, and evolution of your data, data lineage can play an important part in your data governance framework and overall data management strategy.
