Enterprise Glossary

Enterprise glossary provides you with a mechanism to implement business terms, vocabularies, ontologies, and standards. Thus enabling you to build and govern an enterprise-level standard for your mart catalog assets.

Using Enterprise Glossary, you can create and associate your business terms and definitions used in different areas of your business departments or domains.

Here, enterprise glossaries work as containers for business terms. Therefore, before creating business terms, you need to create a glossary for them. You can also create sub-glossaries to group business terms further.

Once business terms are added to the glossary, it is then associated to the catalogs.

After association, you can map business terms to the objects available in the catalogs and generate association and mapping reports. Glossary Associations Report includes details such as catalog name and number of unmapped objects. A Mapping report displays details such as catalog name, object type, object name, and mapped term.
