Scopes

A scope denotes the subset of the Insurance models that supports project business requirements. Scopes are expressed in Information Governance Catalog (IGC) as a category that includes a number of term references. These term references express the list of business terms, analytical requirements, measures, dimensions and supportive content terms that make up the scope.

Scope categories are defined in Information Governance Catalog (IGC) as categories below the Scopes root category. Scope categories are organized in hierarchies using subcategories. Scopes is the parent category, is labeled scope root and is defined in the IBM Insurance Business Vocabulary root category. The first-level scope categories in the hierarchy, such as Catastrophe Modeling, define a high-level group of scopes. The second and further levels of scope categories define low-level groups of scope content within a high-level group.
