Madhan Neethiraj updated ATLAS-3653:
------------------------------------
Description:
A new type named {{Namespace}} was introduced in Atlas via ATLAS-3486. This
feature enables named grouping of attributes; and these attributes can be added
to instances of specified entity-types. In effect, this feature allows
attributes to be added in multiple entity-types, without actually modifying
these entity-types. This helps multiple ways, like:
- ability to add attributes (like dataQuality, projectName) to multiple
entity-types
- authorize update to attributes
- find entities (of multiple types) based on value of such attributes
Since the term {{namespace}} is used in multiple applications in different
context, it is better to avoid using this term for above feature; instead I
suggest to use {{BusinessMetadata}} - as this feature allows extending
entity-types by adding attributes related to business (i.e. not technical
metadata).
