Defining the enterprise environment

When setting up the first project, your enterprise vocabulary is initialized with the content of the released IBM Industry Models vocabulary so that you can start from existing business definitions.

Before you begin

The IBM Industry Models glossary archive must be imported in IGC as described in Importing the vocabulary into Information Governance Catalog (IGC).

About this task

Before starting the first project, initialize the vocabulary components that are delivered with the IBM Industry Models release, and create your own enterprise vocabulary components, such as ABC Company Glossary, that evolve with the customized and harvested content from each project. This is a one-off task.
