Why this is canonical

A table is the foundational structure of every database and ledger. Applied to lineage, it names the practice of maintaining lineage as a structured, queryable record — a pattern that governance, audit, and compliance teams require when they need to run reports, not just trace individual records.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Data catalog lineage records
Maintaining structured lineage tables within a data catalog — a queryable record of every transformation applied to every dataset.
Data catalog vendors, data governance platforms
Audit-ready lineage ledger
A formal lineage ledger — structured records ready for audit extraction, regulatory reporting, and compliance reviews.
Regulated industry data teams, audit and compliance software vendors

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