#2Hi! I’ve written two posts [1][2] about data lineage and I wanted to ask if you folks use data lineage in your projects? How do you keep track of data flows across multiple systems?

I find the term itself very strange and hard to understand (I'm not a English native speaker).
"Data lineage" what does it even mean? Wouldn't it be better to call it "data tractability" since that is what this is about. Am I right?

Yes, the term itself is a bit confusing. However, it's an official term in the industry :')

I get it, but I still don't like it. Lineage sounds to me like you try to put your data in one line, like an aliment.
