             Summary: Doc: Explain key terms used in information governance
                 Key: ATLAS-1213
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-1213
             Project: Atlas
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Nigel Jones


Whilst the Atlas docs have significant information on the API & type system, for Atlas to be seen as a foundation block in implementing information governance it's crucial we clarify some of the key terms that are used on the atlas web site/docs:


This should cover the definitions of

 - classification 
 - classification scheme
 - classification hierarchy
 - business term
 - business category
 - policies
 - rules
 - governance actions

There may be others too (perhaps post thoughts to this JIRA)

Where Atlas currently uses a different term that mapping should be explained, and indeed where a capability isn't addressed that should be mentioned too.

Consistent terminology will aid
 - adoption - readers will be more confident of the Atlas project direction
 - consistenct- we'll use consistent terms in presentations/discussions/APIs
 - new feature discussions - better domain understanding should make it easier to fill functional gaps


Many of these terms first came up in the mailing list discussion on "Rename Trait to classification", which relates to ATLAS-1187 - also viewable on gmane at news://news.gmane.org:119/nt0jdp$ml0$1@blaine.gmane.org
