Business Glossary Features
Maximize understanding of business concepts, terms and rules to achieve a single version of truth. Business Glossary enables to build and manage a common business vocabulary and make it available across an organization.

Speak the same business language
Business Glossary provides a simple interface for creating and managing a common business vocabulary. Improve collaboration by sharing business glossaries without any system dependency.
Powerful editor
Organize business glossary content with Categories to create a logical structure. Create Terms in a word or phrase that describe characteristics of the subject. Define powerful Rules that describe business rules, facts, constraints or derivations that apply to the subject. Unicode support allows to establish a global business glossary and display terms and rules in a meaningful way.
Technical Metadata
View and explore the relationships of technical metadata to maximize the understanding for dependency and impact analysis.
Data object, schema and reference data can be easily linked. This provides you automatically the columns of the metadata object. Now, it’s a simple task to specify the relationship to metadata columns.
Customize Glossary
Customize which information should be visible. The visibility of each attribute can be displayed or hidden without affecting the underlying data.
1-Click Deployment
A common business vocabulary provides the most value when it can be easily shared and accessed by anyone from everywhere.
