Glossary Content Management Overview
Data stewards and stakeholders are content managers who create and manage assets in the glossary for glossary consumers to view.
Content managers are responsible for the content and structure of a glossary. The data steward collaborates with subject matter experts and stakeholders to create and manage business terms, categories, and policies. Stakeholders approve or reject Glossary assets that are in review.
As a data steward, understand the types of assets, and how you can relate the assets to one another. Glossary consumers look up information in the assets. The relationship between assets forms the structure of a glossary. For example, you can link business terms through default relationships or custom relationships. You can create a policy to govern business terms. You can classify policies and business terms into categories.
Business terms, categories, and policies have the following common features:
- •Each Glossary asset goes through an approval cycle before glossary consumers can view the assets.
- •Each Glossary asset can have a data steward, owner, and stakeholder assigned to the asset.
- •To update a published or rejected Glossary asset, the data steward must create a revision of the asset. The revised asset goes through an approval cycle before consumers can view the revision.
- •The Analyst tool maintains an audit trail of actions that content managers perform on assets. Glossary consumers open an asset from the Library workspace to view the history of actions.
- •Content managers can add comments to assets.
Data stewards can create a business initiative to manage bulk changes to multiple Glossary assets. Stakeholders can approve the business initiative to approve multiple Glossary assets. Data stewards can publish the business initiative to publish all the assets that are part of the initiative.
