Hemanth Yamijala commented on ATLAS-1062:
-----------------------------------------
[~davidrad], there is some implementation of this in ATLAS-819. We do have a
couple of base classes that model these common attributes, and there are some
system attributes that are mandatorily available in all attributes. There was
feedback from the community that other than system attributes, the base classes
with common attributes are more advisory and not mandatory
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-819?focusedCommentId=15299053&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-15299053),
which seemed a more flexible model to adopt.
Also, the type system documentation has been updated but not pushed to public
site with details about these system defined classes and attributes. Until
there is a doc push, you could possibly use the docs that come up with the
local build as reference - or even just look up
https://github.com/apache/incubator-atlas/blob/master/docs/src/site/twiki/TypeSystem.twiki.

> 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.
