The lineage api needs explicit display names and labels as well as groups to be used in the lineage graph representation

[julienledem]

• explicit definition of a display name
• explicit description of the structure of the name
• explicit definition of groups.

example/strawman:

Name: {db name}.public.{table name}

{
  structuredName: [
    { type: “group”, name: “db”, value:”{db name}”},
    { type: “separator”, value: “.”},
    { type: “group”, name: “Schema”, value:”public”},
    { type: “separator”, separator: “.”},
    { type: “name”, name: “table”, value:”{table name}”}
  ]
}

XML model:
<group name=db>{db name}</group>.<group name=Schema>public</group>.<name name=table>{table name}</name>

@julienledem are explicit display names and labels a Marquez feature? Or, should we re-open this issue in OpenLineage?

@julienledem I think OpenLineage/OpenLineage#2774 that I raised recently overlaps with this quite a bit. I was considering tweaking that proposal to just be a more generic "structured name" thing - what do you think?
