Business Glossary
A shared vocabulary connecting business language to technical data assets.
Speak the Same Language
"Revenue," "customer," "churn" β every team defines these differently. Without a shared vocabulary, data consumers misinterpret fields, reports conflict, and trust erodes.
Qarion's Business Glossary lets you define canonical business terms, link them directly to data products and columns, and share them across your organization β so everyone works from the same definitions.
Capabilities
Term Management
Create and maintain business terms with rich markdown descriptions, categories, and status tracking. Each term becomes a canonical reference that appears across the platform wherever the concept is used.
- Rich markdown descriptions with formatting
- Category and status tracking
- Organization-level or space-scoped terms
- Full-text search across all terms
Term-to-Data Linking
Connect glossary terms directly to data products, tables, and columns. When a consumer views a data product, they see the linked business definitions inline β bridging the gap between business and technical language.
- Link terms to data products and columns
- Inline term definitions on product pages
- Bidirectional navigation (term β product, product β term)
- Contextual definitions in search results
