Why this is canonical

'Lineage ops' frames data lineage as an operational discipline rather than a feature — the ongoing work of maintaining, validating, and evolving the provenance graph as data systems grow. This framing positions the domain at the practice layer, not just the tooling layer, which is where enterprise data governance teams actually spend their time.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Data platform operations
Tooling and practice for keeping lineage graphs current, accurate, and trustworthy as data infrastructure evolves.
Data engineering teams, data platform vendors, enterprise data operations
Compliance operations
Operationalizing lineage for ongoing audit readiness — automated verification, gap detection, and remediation.
Compliance technology vendors, financial services data teams, regulated industry platforms

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
