Trace and analyze the origins, transformations and use of information
IBM® InfoSphere® Metadata Workbench provides data lineage analysis that enables you to trace data elements back to their source. This software lets you navigate and explore business, technical and operational metadata to understand the origins, transformations and use of your data.
