1. A data management system, comprising:

  • a source data database containing at least one source data set;

    a processing engine for performing a first process to apply of one or more computationally deterministic transformations to the source data set to produce at least one derivative data set, to generate an identifier associated with the produced derivative data set, and to embed the associated identifier within each produced derivative data set;

    a derivative data database containing a record of transformations for each derivative data set and all parameters describing each of the transformations;

    wherein the embedded identifier comprises means for locating the stored source data set at the derivative data database and means for retrieving said transformations and all the parameters describing each of the transformations from the derivative data database; and

    a second process adapted to use the embedded identifier to retrieve the source data set and the transformations stored in the derivative data database and reinitiate the first process to generate additional derivative data for the derivative data set;

    wherein the source data set used in the reinitiated process comprises any of the original source data set and at least one alternate version of the original source data set; and

    wherein each of the one or more computationally deterministic transformations applied to the source data set in the reinitiated process comprises any of the corresponding original computationally deterministic transformations and at least one alternate version of the corresponding original computationally deterministic transformations.
