Question
Which of the following is found in metadata?
- A. Transformations
- B. Data lineage Correct
- C. Syntax
- D. Variable types
Explanation
Metadata is data about data: it describes where a data set came from, who owns it, how it was transformed and how it moved between systems. That record of origin and movement is data lineage, which the Data+ governance objectives list with documentation and versioning as data management practices. Transformations and syntax are part of the processing logic itself rather than descriptive information kept about the data.
