Business Glossaries Overview

You can view business glossary resources in Metadata Manager in the

Glossary

view. A business glossary resource contains metadata extracted from an Analyst tool business glossary. You can view the categories and business terms in each business glossary resource.

Business glossary metadata objects behave like other metadata objects in Metadata Manager. For example, you can run data lineage analysis on business terms. You can also view impact summary and search for categories and business terms.

You can perform the following additional tasks with business glossaries:

View information about a category or business term.: You can view properties about a category or business term that are imported from the Analyst tool such as name, description, usage context, and owner. You can also display information such as links, comments, related catalog objects, and impact summary.
View reference tables.: To view a reference table that is linked to a business term, view the business term, and click the reference table URL.
Relate business terms to other catalog objects.: To view the metadata that a business term represents, relate the term to another catalog object.
View a category or business term in the Analyst tool.: To view a category or business term in the Analyst tool, select the object in the navigator and click
Actions
