The COMPEL Glossary Graph visualizes relationships between framework terminology, showing how concepts interconnect across domains, stages, and pillars. Term nodes cluster by pillar affiliation while cross-references reveal semantic dependencies — for example, how risk appetite connects to control effectiveness, model governance, and assurance requirements. This network representation helps practitioners navigate the framework vocabulary and understand that COMPEL terminology forms a coherent conceptual system rather than isolated definitions.
COMPEL Glossary / provenance
Provenance
The record of origin and custody for a data asset — who collected it, from whom, under what legal basis, and through which hands it passed — required for auditability of high-risk AI under EU AI Act Article 10.
What this means in practice
Distinct from lineage: provenance is about origin and custody; lineage is about transformation history.
Synonyms
data provenance , dataset origin record
