# Glossary and Classification
**Glossary** and **Classification** are both controlled vocabulary and can be used for labeling data. A controlled vocabulary is an organized arrangement of words and phrases to define terminology to organize and retrieve information. Glossary adds meaning to data by defining the business terminologies, whereas Classification helps in defining the type of data.
