Efficient Lineage Tracking For Scientific Workflows
Summary: Introduces an interval-based, space- and query-efficient representation for data lineage graphs from scientific workflows, avoiding recursive storage. Transforms any workflow processes into compact dependency graphs and offers analysis plus evaluation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
