1. Apparatus for temporal data lineage analysis comprising: machine readable memory configured to store a technical data element identifier (“TDEI”), the TDEI corresponding to a technical data element (“TDE”) that represents physical data in a source code database; a receiver configured to receive a query for data lineage information of a business element; a processor configured to: identify one or more TDEIs associated with the business element; identify a TDE corresponding to each TDEI; identify data lineage information associated with each TDE, the data lineage information comprising: one or more systems associated with the TDE; one or more nodes within each system associated with the TDE, each node comprising a persistent state of the data; and one or more hops associated with the TDE, each hop comprising movement of the data between two of the nodes; the processor further configured to generate a data lineage map for each TDE, the data lineage map comprising a stratified representation of the data lineage information, wherein the strata correspond to the one or more systems associated with the one or more TDEs and the arrangement of the strata is based on sequential inter-system hops for the one or more TDEs, the data lineage map further comprising: a visual indicator showing the presence of a node in the data lineage information and the system associated with the node; a visual indicator showing the occurrence of a hop in the data lineage information and the nodes associated with the hop; and a visual indicator showing whether a transformation occurred at the hop.
