Business Term Governance

Business Term Governance

Content managers can add rules to ensure that a business term is compliant with the business objectives of the organization. The rule can be specific to the business term, or linked to a policy.
Content managers can create the following rules:
Rule from policy.
A content manager can create a rule from a policy if the policy exists in the glossary. The data steward publishes a policy after an approval cycle. A policy document high-level business purpose, process, or protocol that is important to the organization. A policy can govern multiple business terms. Glossary consumers can click a link to view the policy from which the content manager created the rule. When the content manager creates a rule from a policy, the rule intent appears in the business term. The content manager can edit the rule intent in the business term. The rule intent in the policy does not change when the content manager changes the rule intent in the rule.
Standalone rule.
If the glossary does not contain a policy to describe a business purpose, process, or protocol of the organization, the data steward can define a rule when configuring business term properties. The rule can document business purpose, process, or protocol that is specific to the term. A rule is applicable to the current business term.
Content managers must define a rule intent when they define the rule or policy. Consumers can verify if a business is compliant by viewing the criteria in the rule intent.
To provide technical information about the rule implementation, business analysts or data stewards can link a rule asset to the rule, or create a rule specification and link the rule specification to the rule. The rule specification converts business rule logic to a mapplet in the Model repository. Rule assets contain transformations or business logic.
