GQD is a large financial organization with a few thousand employees. Like any other corporation, GQD must file their annual financial report in the form of a Section 10K report in the United States of America. Part of the Section 10k report is the Section 10Q report, which is filed quarterly. Employees have access to the Section 10Q report.

GQD requires a glossary of business terms that they use in the Section 10Q report. They decide to base the Section 10Q glossary on an industry-standard glossary. Employees can refer to the Section 10Q glossary when they find terms that are difficult to understand in the report. GQD wants to define their glossary in Informatica Business Glossary.

Employees can browse the business terms in the Section 10Q glossary based on categories. They can view the policies specific to the organization and policies that are widely used in the financial domain. These policies govern the business terms. Technical metadata, such as Oracle database columns, is linked to the terms to provide references to data in business systems.

Employees can look up Glossary assets in the Analyst tool or using Business Glossary Desktop. Employees can use a hot-key combination to launch Business Glossary Desktop to look up terms from any application. The Analyst tool displays extended business term properties, such as a relationship view diagram, audit history, comments and links to technical metadata.
