Boost data literacy with
Business Glossary
A business glossary is crucial in achieving a common business understanding. Dawiso introduces a new way of building the semantic layer that brings the data to business.
Dawiso automatically identifies your business terminology, abbreviations, rules, synonyms and other types of information objects.
Work together with your team on a content and keep track of each change with a history function. Create new versions that can be published when ready.
Your business terminology is interconnected with data assets and other types of metadata. These relationships form the foundation of a knowledge graph that gives you a deep understanding of your information environment.
One glossary is nice but what if it’s not enough? Create more when needed.
Specify, label, update and edit. Customize Dawiso so it fits your needs.
Use the general import feature and bring in all of your pre-existing definitions.
The usage of a Business Glossary increases confidence in the meaning of your company’s data by standardizing terms and definitions. It also shows where terms are used and which data collections contain data corresponding to the term and definition.
With a Business Glossary, you can learn about your company’s data without the trouble of requesting access to it. You can align your data with other data products, quickly navigate your staff to your data environment, and assist people in using your data correctly.
The data steward(s) you choose create and approve terms and definitions based on the steward’s expert knowledge of the data and contributions from your organization.
The basic features of a Business Glossary include browsing terms and relationships among terms, a clear overview of the Business Owner and Data Steward, the ability to view a description and list of terms for reports, data feeds, distribution lists, and other data objects, and the ability to learn about data without having to request access to it.
