Glossary consumers identify Glossary assets by name. A glossary can contain multiple assets with the same name. The properties of the asset provide a definition of the asset and describe their purpose. Glossary assets can be linked with one another to form meaningful relationships. The glossary structure is defined by the relationships between assets. Each type of asset has a specific purpose. You can assign a data steward, stakeholder, and owner to each asset.

Create a group of users in the Analyst tool for data stewards. Assign the data steward role to the group in the Analyst tool. When a user is no longer required to perform the role of a data steward for a Glossary asset, you can remove the user from the group instead of removing the user from the data steward role for the Glossary asset.
Use Microsoft Excel to create glossary content. For information, see the Informatica How-To Library article Creating Glossary Content Using Microsoft Excel.
Use Microsoft Excel to perform bulk modifications to Glossary assets. For more information about the data in the business glossary export file and to edit Glossary assets in bulk, see the Informatica How-To Library article Business Glossary Export File Description.
Use the Inactive status to retire an asset if the asset is no longer valid for the organization. You can delete draft assets which do not have previous versions. You cannot delete an asset which is in the In Review, Published or Rejected phase.
Use the synonyms property of a business glossary to define aliases for a business term. Users who search for words that are defined as synonyms can see the business term in the search result.
