Problem statement

Right now lineage is set manually for Data Products in the UI, by linking output to input ports.

Proposed Solution

We can infer relationsships by following the UC lineage information, where pipelines read tables and emit others. Give they are mapped to a contract already (could be via bulk import or manually) we can infer how they feed into each other, and be extension how products are linked.
