📖Data Glossary

Private preview: The Data Glossary is currently in private preview. To enable this feature for your account, please contact support.

The Data Glossary lets you define and manage business terminology and definitions for your organization. Terms are organized by domains, so you can scope definitions to different parts of your data model (e.g., Sales, Finance, Marketing).

What Is the Data Glossary?

A glossary term is a named business concept with:

  • Name — The canonical term (e.g., "Customer", "ARR", "Churn")

  • Description — What it means in your organization

  • Domain — Which domain it belongs to (terms are scoped to domains)

  • Owner — Who is responsible for the definition

  • Synonyms — Alternative names (e.g., "Client" for "Customer")

  • Tags — Labels for filtering and grouping

Glossary terms appear as resources in the data graph and can be used by the AI assistant and EQL to understand your organization's vocabulary.
