I'm in agreement with your definition. When I tell Business I'm putting together a Business Glossary, they often hand me a Data Dictionary. Data Dictionaries are what Technical Staff should have Business has Business Glossary. They use them interchangeably.

this is very invigorating content. there really is not much out there as far as defining what a business glossary is, hot ouse tools like collibra, and so forth. do you see a future in this content to grow? Or is this niche just too small and already been tapped out by resources such as yours and the vendors. I have noticed a lot of vendor materials are not that intuitive which is surprising to me.

Ok, thank you for sharing your knowledge. DM community needs more like your material, and many well-known names in this space demand a high price for teaching those stuff.
I've been straggling since January just to understand those terms, please in one article can you tell, What is the relation between metadata, reference data, Master data, data dictionary, and data glossary). another question is data dictionary = metadata? this question has been bothering me for months, can't find an answer.

hi, not related to this vid but what questions would u ask an entry level personel about data classification and backup

Hello, I was wondering if there is any way to limit access to users when it comes to updating a status in glossary.
for example, If a term has been approved; user should not be allowed to change that status.

And also can you set up a an automated email, notification or a reminder that get sent out to specific users if the term is in alert.

There is what a data gov person will consider to be a Business glossary, then there is what IT Executive and Business will consider. 7 out of 10 will think that whatever is currently in place to be "A" business glossary.

Looking at that list of terms that are not synonyms - i was literally just thinking I need to make a quizlet of all the terms because I cant keep track
