>                 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 at news://news.gmane.org:119/nt0jdp$ml0$1...@blaine.gmane.org
