sourcerelational
Sourcerelational is a concept in data engineering and information management that describes approaches for integrating data from heterogeneous sources into relational data models while preserving provenance information. The central goal is to enable relational querying over data originally stored in non-relational formats or in separate systems, without losing traceability to the source.
Key aspects include data provenance, where metadata records the origin, transformations, and ownership of each data

Applications include data warehousing, business intelligence, data lake governance, and regulatory reporting, especially in environments with
