Patent number: 11861568Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for data tracing identifiers for tracking data flow through a data model and computing services. An entity, such as company or business, may provide computing services. When providing these services, one or more computing services, processors, or the like of the service provider's computing architecture may be used. This may include processing data through a data processing flow that uses multiple computing services.
