In epidemiology, data lineage is tracked through various tools and techniques:
Metadata: Descriptive information about data, including its source, format, and any transformations it undergoes. Data Provenance: Detailed records of the origin and history of data, often captured in logs or documentation. Audit Trails: Logs that track data access, modifications, and usage over time. Data Management Software: Specialized tools designed to manage and visualize data lineage.
