Introduction" title="Direct link to Introduction"></a></h2><p>When working in complex data ecosystems, it is very useful to organize data assets using a shared vocabulary. The Business Glossary feature in DataHub helps you do this, by providing a framework for defining a standardized set of data concepts and then associating them with the physical assets that exist within your data ecosystem.</p><p>Within this document, we'll introduce the core concepts comprising DataHub's Business Glossary feature and show you how to put it to work in your organization.</p><h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="terms--term-groups">Terms & Term Groups<a href="#terms--term-groups" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Terms & Term Groups" title="Direct link to Terms & Term Groups"></a></h3><p>A Business Glossary is comprised of two important primitives: Terms and Term Groups.</p><ul><li><strong>Terms</strong>: words or phrases with a specific business definition assigned to them.</li><li><strong>Term Groups</strong>: act like folders, containing Terms and even other Term Groups to allow for a nested structure.</li></ul><p>Both Terms and Term Groups allow you to add documentation and unique owners.</p><p>For Glossary Terms, you are also able to establish relationships between different Terms in the <strong>Related Terms</strong> tab. Here you can create Contains and Inherits relationships. Finally, you can view all of the entities that have been tagged with a Term in the <strong>Related Entities</strong> tab.</p><h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="getting-to-your-glossary">Getting to your Glossary<a href="#getting-to-your-glossary" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Getting to your Glossary" title="Direct link to Getting to your Glossary"></a></h2><p>In order to view a Business Glossary, users must have the Platform Privilege called <code>Manage Glossaries</code> which can be granted by creating a new Platform <a href="/docs/authorization/policies">Policy</a>.</p><p>Once granted this privilege, you can access your Glossary by clicking the dropdown at the top of the page called <strong>Govern</strong> and then click <strong>Glossary</strong>:</p><p align="center"><img loading="lazy" width="70%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/glossary/glossary-button.png" class="img_ev3q"></p><p>You are now at the root of your Glossary and should see all Terms and Term Groups with no parents assigned to them.

First, you can create directly from the Glossary home page by clicking the menu dots on the top right and selecting your desired option:</p><p align="center"><img loading="lazy" width="70%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/glossary/root-glossary-create.png" class="img_ev3q"></p><p>You can also create Terms or Term Groups directly from a Term Group's page. In order to do that you need to click the menu dots on the top right and select what you want:</p><p align="center"><img loading="lazy" width="70%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/glossary/create-from-node.png" class="img_ev3q"></p><p>Note that the modal that pops up will automatically set the current Term Group you are in as the <strong>Parent</strong>. You can easily change this by selecting the input and navigating through your Glossary to find your desired Term Group. In addition, you could start typing the name of a Term Group to see it appear by searching. You can also leave this input blank in order to create a Term or Term Group with no parent.</p><p align="center"><img loading="lazy" width="70%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/glossary/create-modal.png" class="img_ev3q"></p><h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="editing-a-term-or-term-group">Editing a Term or Term Group<a href="#editing-a-term-or-term-group" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Editing a Term or Term Group" title="Direct link to Editing a Term or Term Group"></a></h2><p>In order to edit a Term or Term Group, you first need to go the page of the Term or Term group you want to edit.

This can make
|
||
managing changes across teams easier, by funneling all changes through a change management and review process.</p><p>To manage your glossary using Git, you can define it within a file and then use the DataHub CLI to ingest
|
||
it into DataHub whenever a change is made (e.g. on a <code>git commit</code> hook). For detailed information about the format of
|
||
the glossary file, and how to ingest it into DataHub, check out the <a href="/docs/generated/ingestion/sources/business-glossary">Business Glossary</a> source guide.</p><h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="about-glossary-term-relationships">About Glossary Term Relationships<a href="#about-glossary-term-relationships" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to About Glossary Term Relationships" title="Direct link to About Glossary Term Relationships"></a></h2><p>DataHub supports 2 different kinds of relationships <em>between</em> individual Glossary Terms: <strong>Inherits From</strong> and <strong>Contains</strong>.</p><p><strong>Contains</strong> can be used to relate two Glossary Terms when one is a <em>superset</em> of or <em>consists</em> of another.
|
||
For example: <strong>Address</strong> Term <em>Contains</em> <strong>Zip Code</strong> Term, <strong>Street</strong> Term, & <strong>City</strong> Term (<em>Has-A</em> style relationship)</p><p><strong>Inherits</strong> can be used to relate two Glossary Terms when one is a <em>sub-type</em> or <em>sub-category</em> of another.
|
||
For example: <strong>Email</strong> Term <em>Inherits From</em> <strong>PII</strong> Term (<em>Is-A</em> style relationship)</p><p>These relationship types allow you to map the concepts existing within your organization, enabling you to
|
||
change the mapping between concepts behind the scenes, without needing to change the Glossary Terms
|
||
that are attached to individual Data Assets and Columns.</p><p>For example, you can define a very specific, concrete Glossary Term like <code>Email Address</code> to represent a physical
|
||
data type, and then associate this with a higher-level <code>PII</code> Glossary Term via an <code>Inheritance</code> relationship.
|
||
This allows you to easily maintain a set of all Data Assets that contain or process <code>PII</code>, while keeping it easy to add
|
||
and remove new Terms from the <code>PII</code> Classification, e.g. without requiring re-annotation of individual Data Assets or Columns.</p><h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="demo">Demo<a href="#demo" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Demo" title="Direct link to Demo"></a></h2><p>Check out <a href="https://demo.datahub.com/glossary" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">our demo site</a> to see an example Glossary and how it works!</p><h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="graphql">GraphQL<a href="#graphql" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to GraphQL" title="Direct link to GraphQL"></a></h3><ul><li><a href="/docs/graphql/mutations#addterm">addTerm</a></li><li><a href="/docs/graphql/mutations#addterms">addTerms</a></li><li><a href="/docs/graphql/mutations#batchaddterms">batchAddTerms</a></li><li><a href="/docs/graphql/mutations#removeterm">removeTerm</a></li><li><a href="/docs/graphql/mutations#batchremoveterms">batchRemoveTerms</a></li><li><a href="/docs/graphql/mutations#createglossaryterm">createGlossaryTerm</a></li><li><a href="/docs/graphql/mutations#createglossarynode">createGlossaryNode</a> (Term Group)</li></ul><p>You can easily fetch the Glossary Terms for an entity with a given its URN using the <strong>glossaryTerms</strong> property.
