Choosing to import the separate Business Scopes or the complete Knowledge Accelerators Vocabularies

Depending on what particular content is required, it is important to be aware of the different options available when choosing to import any of the Knowledge Accelerators. There are two main options to consider when you are planning to import Knowledge Accelerator content:

Importing a selection of Business Scopes
There is a selection of Knowledge Accelerator Business Scopes that are available to be imported separately. If one or more of these business scopes exists for an area you are interested in, and if you prefer to start with a relatively small number of business terms, for example 200 to 500 terms, then you can install one or more of these separate scopes.
Importing some or all of the Knowledge Accelerator vocabularies
The Knowledge Accelerators vocabularies exist for each of the four specific industries and contain the complete Business Vocabulary, Industry Alignment Vocabularies, and all the Business Scopes. You can choose to import all or a selection of these vocabularies. If there is a need to import an extensive set of business terms to address the breadth of an industry, for example 5,000 to 20,000 terms, then select this option.
The following sections outline the methods for importing the components.
