Hi,

I have a basic EDG question.  I have a spreadsheet with 10 columns.  The
spreadsheet is imported by a program, some columns are deleted, some new
ones are added and some are left unchanged (say 4 are not changed)
resulting in a dataset of 15 columns.

The 15 column dataset is an output of the program.  The program populates a
table in a database that matches the 15 columns.

It is easy to model the spreadsheet columns as inputs to the program.  It
is also easy to model the outputs of the program as database columns.  This
pattern is shown in a number of your LineageGram examples.

My question revolves around the four columns that did not change.  How do
I model that these columns are identical to the 4 columns in the source
spreadsheet?  If I walk back from the database column, I can see the
program that generated the column and I can see the input columns but other
than looking at the names of the columns and hoping they are similar, I
don't see an obvious way to connect them.  So far I have only encountered
edg:derivedFrom.  Do I need to go a level deeper and model the
transformation of each column into the output columns where a "NOP" (no
operation) is an option?

Am I missing something simple?

Thanks,

Tim
