Lineage model

Reference documentation

This is reference documentation covering the entire Atlan model. It is not the best place to start when trying to understand how to manage lineage in Atlan. For that, we would suggest starting with the lineage snippets.

These are the model elements in Atlan related to lineage.

    class Referenceable {

Relationships

The following illustrates how the various pieces of lineage inter-relate with each other:
