Business Glossary Management from TopQuadrant
With TopQuadrant’s business glossary software, you can define, govern, and connect key terms to your data to ensure clarity, compliance, and confidence across the enterprise.
Define Business Language
A business glossary is more than a list of terms. It defines the meaning and usage of your organization’s most important concepts, helping teams understand data consistently across tools, departments, and reports.
Connect to Data Assets
Each glossary term can be linked to underlying technical metadata, creating a bridge between business context and data sources. This connection eliminates ambiguity, improves collaboration, and powers analytics, reporting, and AI with trusted definitions.
With TopBraid EDG, you can organize and manage these glossaries in an RDF knowledge graph, making them reusable across systems and data products.
Each definition becomes a living, connected asset that enriches reference data, strengthens governance, and accelerates data-driven decisions.
How a Defined Business Glossary Improves Data Clarity and Governance
A governed business glossary helps teams speak the same language, connect definitions to data, and make faster, more confident decisions.
Connect Business and Technical Teams
Unify your organization’s vocabulary by linking business terms directly to metadata and data assets. Clear definitions eliminate confusion and align business and IT.
Standardize terms through version control and approval workflows. Ensure accuracy and accountability for reports, audits, and enterprise-wide data usage.
Accelerate Data Discovery
Help users find, understand, and trust data faster with contextual terms embedded across catalogs, dashboards, and analytics tools.
Build FAIR and AI-Ready Data Foundations
Make your glossary interoperable and machine-readable. Support automation, quality rules, and AI models with consistent, reusable business context.
