Using Data Catalog, you can create business glossaries, edit glossary details, and delete business glossaries.
Business glossaries are collections of terms related to specific divisions or business units within an organization. Glossaries are used to establish a common understanding of the meaning of data across an organization and contextualize the data's meaning to business operations.
