Either manually document or import your organization’s glossaries and dictionaries through our APIs.
Automatically map your Glossary Items
Zeenea provides data management teams with a unique place to create their categories of semantic concepts, organize them in hierarchies, and configure the way glossary items are mapped with technical assets. This maximizes productivity, enriches your semantic landscape, and improves data discovery for your data consumers.

Data consumers are able to explore all enterprise glossary concepts and definitions through our dedicated app, Zeenea Explorer. View the most implemented glossary items or search for and filter glossary items via our smart search engine. Our powerful knowledge graph gives business users a 360° view of any glossary term: its description, parent/children items, where it was implemented, as well as its relation to other assets.
Create Business Glossary Topics
Define specific Topics (a collection of assets) for your Glossary Items to enable your data consumers to quickly find the definitions they need for their use cases. The Topics will then be available directly on the Explorer homepage and in the search bar of the catalog.
