Data Flows and Data Mapping

What is data mapping?

In data lineage, data mapping is the specific process of linking data fields from one data source to others.

What are data flows?

Data flows highlight the movement of data from one system to another or from one system into a report or other business use case and show direction from source to target.

Data flows vs. data lineage: What’s the difference?

Data lineage represents the journey of data as it travels from source to destination. This journey encompasses the entire lifecycle of data, detailing where it enters a business, how data flows through various processes and systems, how that data is subsequently transformed – through calculations and formulas for example – and where it is then used in critical ways in the business, such as for decision making, reporting, AI, regulatory compliance and much more.  Data flows highlight a specific part of this lineage – the movement of data from one system to another or from one system into a report or other business use case and show direction from source to target.
