Description

Is there an existing issue for this?
  • I have searched the existing issues
Problem statement

The knowledge graph can be used to validate data processing logic.

Proposed Solution

Two checks come to mind:

  • Lineage verification - Cross-check platform lineage information against the semantic model, detecting ordering issues.
  • JOIN verification - Check if joined columns have the same semantic meaning

Implement these checks using the compliance feature.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing compliance feature and semantic model validation entry points; this issue names no files or tests. Done means implementing lineage verification for ordering issues and JOIN verification for semantic compatibility, with validation coverage for both checks.
