displaying, via the processor, a view of the 3D VR model, wherein the 3D VR model is configured for a user to navigate the plurality of the rooms and hallways of the virtual building to determine lineage of data.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , comprising updating, via the processor, the view of the 3D VR model in response to detecting a request for existing data from a data asset by detecting the user navigating the 3D VR model by opening a door to a room in the virtual building in which the data asset is located in the 3D VR model.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the door to the room in the virtual building in which the data asset is located is connected to a hallway of the virtual building through which the user navigates in the 3D VR model.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , comprising prefetching, via the processor, data from the data lineage content based on a predicted request.
11. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , comprising executing, via the processor, the data lineage to generate data lineage content used to build the 3D VR model.
12. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , comprising detecting a root cause of a temporal issue and modifying a value of a data element corresponding to the detected root cause.
13. A computer program product for generating three dimensional virtual reality models, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program code executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
