Trace the semantic definition of a field in a report to understand its meaning.
Three methods are used to provide an answer to a definition lookup and apply in the following order:- direct semantic link from a term in a business glossary
- data flow lineage to the data warehouse or other data stores in the physical architecture and semantic up to a business glossary
- name matching between business glossary term and field name
Before you begin
- A business glossary has been created and populated.
- Glossary terms are mapped semantically to the corresponding data in the technical architecture.
