Overview

The Apache Atlas Glossary feature enables you to define a hierarchical set of business terms that represents your business domain. You can then associate these glossary terms with the metadata entities that Atlas manages. This hierarchical business catalog makes it easier to organize and discover data stored in Hadoop.

Atlas Terms

The Atlas Glossary Terms feature enables you to create glossaries and create terms within each glossary. The Terms list can be thought of as of a flat (but searchable) list of business terms organized by glossaries.

Atlas Categories

The Atlas Glossary Category feature enables you to create a hierarchy of categories and subcategories under each glossary. You can then associate terms with these categories, thereby establishing an organizational hierarchy of business terms.
