Nigel Jones created ATLAS-1213:
----------------------------------
Summary: Doc: Explain key terms used in information governance
Key: ATLAS-1213
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-1213
Project: Atlas
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Nigel Jones
Whilst the Atlas docs have significant information on the API & type system,
for Atlas to be seen as a foundation block in implementing information
governance it's crucial we clarify some of the key terms that are used on the
atlas web site/docs:
This should cover the definitions of
- classification
- classification scheme
- classification hierarchy
- business term
- business category
- policies
- rules
- governance actions
There may be others too (perhaps post thoughts to this JIRA)
Where Atlas currently uses a different term that mapping should be explained,
and indeed where a capability isn't addressed that should be mentioned too.
Consistent terminology will aid
- adoption - readers will be more confident of the Atlas project direction
- consistenct- we'll use consistent terms in presentations/discussions/APIs
- new feature discussions - better domain understanding should make it easier
to fill functional gaps
Many of these terms first came up in the mailing list discussion on "Rename
Trait to classification", which relates to ATLAS-1187 - also viewable on gmane
