The canonical position for data and model lineage at the meta-level.
A coordinate for the governance layer above individual lineage tools — where the frameworks, standards, and platforms that track how data and models evolve, transform, and propagate through AI pipelines are built.
Coordinated sets this position belongs to — the coverage it extends. Counts are the live cluster size in the graph.

Why this is canonical
'Lineage' is one of the most operationally critical concepts in modern AI and data engineering: knowing where data came from, how it was transformed, and how those transformations affect downstream model behavior. The meta prefix places this name at the governance layer above any single lineage tool — the home for the standards, platforms, and institutions that define what lineage means for the agentic era.
