AssetLineage (Open Connector Framework (OCF) 3.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.properties.AssetPropertyElementBase
- - org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.properties.AssetPropertyBase
  - - org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.properties.AssetLineage

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public class AssetLineage
extends AssetPropertyBase
```
Lineage shows the origin of the connected asset. It covers:
- Design lineage - the known data movement and data stores that can supply data to this asset.
- Operational lineage - showing the jobs that ran to create this asset
Currently lineage is not implemented in the ConnectedAssetProperties interface because more design work is needed. This class is therefore a placeholder for lineage information.

Constructors
Modifier	Constructor	Description
`protected`	`AssetLineage()`	Default constructor
	`AssetLineage(AssetDescriptor parentAsset)`	Typical constructor.
	`AssetLineage(AssetDescriptor parentAsset, AssetLineage templateLineage)`	Copy/clone constructor - the parentAsset is passed separately to the template because it is also likely to be being cloned in the same operation and we want the lineage clone to point to the asset clone and not the original asset.
