D-Parents

D-Parents, or Data-Parents, are a concept in data management and machine learning referring to the primary source or origin of data. Think of them as the original "parent" data sets from which other data derivatives or models are created. They serve as foundational references, ensuring that subsequent data, analyses, or models remain consistent, accurate, and traceable back to their original sources. In essence, D-Parents help maintain data integrity and lineage, enabling better tracking, validation, and understanding of how data evolves through various transformations.
