Lineage is used to track the process of building datasets. It is most relevant for spatial datasets, but can be used for any dataset. Lineage entries are used to describe the steps and sources used to create the product, and document the roles and contacts for the product contributors. Completing the lineage tab is recommended, but not required.

  • Statement (Required): Notes actions taken to verify, transform, repair, and integrate the resource.

  • Process Step (Optional): Consult the section of this manual to learn how to add information about the creation of your project.

  • Sources (Optional): Use the Sources field to indicate what you used to create the product and then write a statement. This can be done instead of completing all other fields in this tab.

  • Citation (Optional): If you have a citation for a manual, enter it here. This can be done instead of completing all other fields in this tab.

  • Scope (Optional): Select type from the picklist.
