Column lineage for resource dependency system and graphical user interface

A computer-implemented method of processing and managing data set column lineage, the method comprising:

• by one or more processors executing program instructions:
• determining a selected column from a selected dataset;
• determining one or more first target columns from one or more first target datasets, wherein the one or more first target columns are dependent on the selected column;
• and
• generating user interface data useable for rendering a first portion of a graphical user interface, the first portion of the graphical user interface comprising:
• a representation of the selected dataset;
• a representation of the selected column, wherein the representation of the selected column is different from the representation of the selected dataset;
• representations of the one or more first target datasets;
• representations of the one or more first target columns shown in relation to associated first target datasets, wherein each representation of the one or more first target columns is different from each representation of the one or more first target datasets;
• and
• an arrow or edge from the representation of the selected column to the representations of the target columns of the first target columns.

A computing system configured for processing and managing data set column lineage, the system comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the program instructions to cause the computing system to:
• determine a selected column from a selected dataset;
• determine one or more first target columns from one or more first target datasets, wherein the one or more first target columns are dependent on the selected column;
• and
• generate user interface data useable for rendering a first portion of a graphical user interface, the first portion of the graphical user interface comprising:
• a representation of the selected dataset;
• a representation of the selected column, wherein the representation of the selected column is different from the representation of the selected dataset;
• representations of the one or more first target datasets;
• representations of the one or more first target columns shown in relation to associated first target datasets, wherein each representation of the one or more first target columns is different from each representation of the one or more first target datasets;
• and
• an arrow or edge from the representation of the selected column to the representations of the target columns of the first target columns.

Non-transitory computer-readable media including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:

• determining a selected column from a selected dataset;
• determining one or more first target columns from one or more first target datasets, wherein the one or more first target columns are dependent on the selected column;
• and
• generating user interface data useable for rendering a first portion of a graphical user interface, the first portion of the graphical user interface comprising:
• a representation of the selected dataset;
• a representation of the selected column, wherein the representation of the selected column is different from the representation of the selected dataset;
• representations of the one or more first target datasets;
• representations of the one or more first target columns shown in relation to associated first target datasets, wherein each representation of the one or more first target columns is different from each representation of the one or more first target datasets;
• and
• an arrow or edge from the representation of the selected column to the representations of the target columns of the first target columns.
