          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components:  atlas-core
    Affects Versions: 0.9-incubating

This JIRA describes a proposal for standard types for common metadata entities and relationships.  For example, glossaries, database definitions, rules, policies, ...

The value of having standard definitions for metadata is to enable type safe APIs and business level UIs plus be able to exchange metadata between different instances of metadata repositories.

The implementation of these common definitions can be divided into 2 groups:
 - standard system attributes for all entities and relationships
 - standard types for commonly used metadata

Adaptation and flexibility are key in metadata environments so these common definitions must be extensible - and we still need to support the ad hoc definition of new types in Atlas.
