retrieving at least a first configuration information set from
storage (360) that stores multiple configuration information
sets, where each configuration information set includes a
plurality of selection specifications for executing queries from
the computing system to select metadata items in the metadata
management system (340) that are related to a given

metadata item of a predetermined type, where each
configuration information set in the storage (360) includes
different selection specifications, and where each selection
specification from the first configuration information set is
associated with a different respective predetermined type;
querying the metadata management system (340) using one or
more selection specifications from the first configuration
information set to identify a set of one or more metadata items
that are related to the first metadata item;
26. A system for presenting a data lineage diagram indicating
relationships among metadata items stored in a metadata
management system (340), the system including:
a metadata management system (340) storing metadata
items;

a user interface (300) including an input interface configured
to receive a request that identifies a first metadata item stored
in the metadata management system (340);
a storage system (360) storing multiple configuration
information sets including a first configuration information set
received from the storage system, where each configuration
information set includes a plurality of selection specifications
for executing queries from the system to select metadata items
in the metadata management system (340) that are related to
a given metadata item of a predetermined type, where each
configuration information set in the storage system includes
different selection specifications, and where each selection
specification from the first configuration information set is
associated with a different respective predetermined type;
a metadata management system interface configured to query
the metadata management system (340) using one or more
selection specifications from the first configuration information
set to identify a set of one or more metadata items that are
related to the first metadata item, where a first selection
specification from the first configuration information set that is
associated with a type of the first metadata item; and a
diagram generator (320) to generate a data lineage diagram
indicating data lineage relationships among programs and
data represented by the metadata items identified using the
first configuration information set, the data lineage diagram

including nodes that correspond to the programs and data
represented by the metadata items and edges that represent the
data lineage relationships among the programs and data
represented by the metadata items.
Thus, the claimed invention provides for a method and system and consists of
a metadata management system; a storage system containing multiple
configuration information sets with each configuration information set
including different selection specifications; and a diagram generator. Upon
receipt of a request, the first metadata item relating to the request is retrieved
from the metadata management system. Using the selection specification from
the storage system, the metadata mangement system is queried by the metadata
management system interface to identify one or more metadata items related to
the first metadata item. The diagram generator generates a data lineage diagram
representing the relationship between data and programme by representing the
programmes and data as nodes and the data lineage relationship between
programmes and data represented by the metadata items as edges. In the
factual context of the monopoly claims, I turn next to Section 3(k).
