Nigel Jones commented on ATLAS-1213:
------------------------------------
this is addressed by ATLAS-1410
> 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 at news://news.gmane.org:119/[email protected]
