The process-level position for embedding lineage into how AI and data systems operate.

Lineage as process — a coordinate for builders who integrate provenance tracking into the operational fabric of how systems are built and run.

Coordinated sets this position belongs to — the coverage it extends. Counts are the live cluster size in the graph.

Why this is canonical

Process names the repeatable, structured workflow — the 'how' of a practice. Pairing it with lineage claims the position for making provenance not a retroactive audit but a designed-in process step, a distinction central to AI governance and data quality engineering.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Governance process design
Embedding lineage capture into governance workflows as a standard process step — provenance by design, not by exception.
Data governance teams, compliance architects, regulated industries
AI development process
Building lineage tracking into the AI development lifecycle — from data collection through model deployment as a documented process.
AI engineering teams, MLops practitioners, AI governance platform vendors

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