             Summary: suggested model improvement
                 Key: ATLAS-1062
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-1062
             Project: Atlas
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: David Radley


I look at the Type architecture and I see that many elements have a name - it 
seems there should be a higher abstraction for named things. 

I suggest the highest thing IDataType in the Types architecture diagram have : 
- a manditory name
- a manditory global unique identifier
- an optional short and long description
- a curator / owner 
- associated notes (notes are free form text that could be added we track, 
author, date , version if we allow notes to be updated). 
It would make sense to have a higher level object that contains these 
attributes, where  IDataType is a subtype and a Term interface are subtypes.
