Business Glossary API Overview

Business Glossary API Overview

The Business Glossary API is an API that allows applications to incorporate business glossary lookup functionality. You can use the business glossary in any client application that can use the HTTP protocol.
A business glossary is a set of terms that use business language to define relevant concepts for business users in an organization. A business term includes the business definition and usage of a concept. A business glossary is hosted by the Analyst Service.
The Business Glossary API is a REST API. Any client that uses the HTTP protocol can request and retrieve business glossary data using the Business Glossary API. The Business Glossary API uses the HTTP GET method to retrieve data from a business glossary and the HTTP POST to authenticate to a business glossary.
The Business Glossary API has a base Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that you can use to construct URLs. You can use the URLs to perform the following tasks:
  • Authenticate users with a business glossary.
  • Search for business terms in a business glossary.
  • Request the details for a particular business term.
  • Request a list of attributes for a business term and display it according to user preference.
  • Obtain a list of available domains and namespaces for login.
