1. A system for data asset reconstruction, comprising:

  • a memory having computer readable instructions; and

    a processor for executing the computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions including;

    receiving a data lineage for a data asset, wherein the data lineage identifies a data source connected to the data asset by an intermediate process;

    determining whether the data source is downstream or upstream from a lost data asset;

    based on determining that the data source is downstream from the lost data asset;

    determining whether the intermediate process can be used to reconstruct the lost data asset; and

    based on determining that the intermediate process can be used to reconstruct the lost data asset, including determining that the intermediate process is reversible, reconstructing the lost data asset by reversing the intermediate process from the data source to yield the lost data asset,wherein the intermediate process is reversible if the intermediate process is capable of being run in reverse to create the lost data asset as output using the data source as input; and

    based on determining that the data source is upstream from the lost data asset;

    determining whether the intermediate process can be used to reconstruct the lost data asset; and

    based on determining that the intermediate process can be used to reconstruct the lost data asset, including determining that the intermediate process is re-runnable, reconstructing the lost data asset by re-running the intermediate process from the data source to yield the lost data asset,wherein the intermediate process is re-runnable if the intermediate process did not change the data source or if the intermediate process is a known one-to-one function.
