In the Analyst tool, you define business glossaries in the

Glossary

workspace. The

Glossary

workspace can contain multiple business glossaries. Each business glossary contains assets such as business terms, categories, and policies. Metadata Manager can extract business terms and categories from a business glossary.

You create one Business Glossary resource for each Analyst tool business glossary from which you want to extract metadata. You can create multiple Business Glossary resources, however, the business glossaries must be managed by the same Analyst Service.

When you create a Business Glossary resource, you specify the following information:

You can use enumerated links files to associate individual business terms with metadata objects in other resources. For example, you might want to link different business terms with different columns in an Oracle table. Enumerated links files are CSV files that contain individual pairs of objects that you want to link. You can upload one or more enumerated links files when you create or edit a Business Glossary resource. For more information about enumerated links, see the

Metadata Manager Custom Metadata Integration Guide

.

You can use a schedule to periodically load business glossary resources. Analyst tool users update business glossary content in the Analyst tool. To ensure that Metadata Manager users always have access to the most recent business glossary content, schedule regular resource loads.
