In this chapter, the authors focus on the design and construction of the last MASK model, the lineage model. We learn what lineage is and how it applies to knowledge. The lineage model is differentiated from the history model. The authors explain that the history model pertains to the evolution of the environment in which knowledge develops, whereas lineage pertains to the evolution of the knowledge itself. Lineage examples are found in everyday examples such as ancestries, provenance, versions, and citation networks. A step-by-step methodology for building a lineage model is described.
