Glossary Metamodel and Custom model
The glossary is simply a type of custom model based upon a flexible metamodel. Thus, one may extend/related additional business attribute, object, and relationship types as needed. In addition, associations with other custom models may be defined in the metamodel and then these custom model instances (e.g., glossaries) may be associated.
As the glossary is such an important example of the custom model, this user guide has a specific section for it (what you are reading now). Many of the feature, e.g., workflow, carry over to other custom models, as well.
Information note
Workflow processes as applied to object types (terms or acronyms) are detailed in the “glossary” section of the user guide, but can be used for other custom models.
