Metadata Record -- Lineage Section
The Lineage section of the Edit Window is used to document the history of the resource. In other words, the step-by-step actions taken from acquisition of source data through transformation and validation of intermediary data products to final assembly of the main resource.
When no Lineage has been defined for the Metadata Record a large blue bar is displayed on the page declaring "No Lineage found."
