Deploying an Enterprise Glossary and Library

An administrator can deploy a glossary and a library of enterprise reference models, resource files, and other documents, which will be pushed to and automatically updated for all users. By default, only administrators can edit the glossary or add models to or edit the library. You can provide access to other users using the standard repository permissions.

• Deploying an Enterprise Glossary
  The glossary model (GLM) helps you capture and organize the terminology to be used for naming your model objects. An administrator deploys the glossary, and users enable it in their models to provide autocompletion for object names and model checks to ensure compliance. The glossary appears in the Browser Glossary tab and updates are pushed to users each time they connect to the repository, or on demand. Only one glossary is permitted per repository.
• Deploying an Enterprise Library
  An administrator or other user with Write permission on the .Library folder can check models, resource files, and external files such as Word documents or PDFs into the library and have them pushed to repository users. Once one or more documents are added to the library, users connecting to the repository are invited to check them out into the library folder in their local workspace.
• Controlling Library and Glossary Write Permissions
  Since library models and other documents are intended to be a reference for users, many administrators will want to closely control who can edit them. You control access to the Library folder with standard repository permissions. By default, all users can see the Library folder and have updates pushed to them as necessary, but only administrators have the right to modify the glossary and other library models.
