Hi everyone,
We're excited to share highlights from our very first Community Spotlight event, where we heard directly from
Albert took us on a deep dive into how his team tackled glossary customization in Ataccama ONE to better reflect their business logic and metadata needs. With over 25 years of experience in data, Albert brought both expertise and practical insights to the session.
💡 Here are some key takeaways:
-
Why customize the glossary? Stater needed different metadata for catalog items and their attributes—customizing allowed them to reflect these distinctions clearly.
-
Custom term types: They introduced entity terms, attribute terms, and business terms to better align with their logical data model.
-
Reusability with relationships: Using relationship types ("roles"), they elegantly modeled attributes that appear in multiple entities—like keys, foreign keys, and descriptive attributes.
