Chapter 1. Viewing business glossary content
You can view information in the business glossary in a variety of ways.
Once you are logged in to InfoSphere

Business Glossary, you can use several

techniques to find information about business glossary assets.
The fastest way to display information about a term that you know the name of is
to use the Quick Term Finder that appears in the upper right of the InfoSphere
Business Glossary screen. To find a term, start typing it in the Quick Term Finder
data entry field.
You can also use the following methods to view the details of information
governance assets:
Searching for business glossary content

Before you begin
You must be logged in as a Business Glossary Basic user or higher.
About this task
You can search the business glossary by using the Search Business Glossary field
on the IBM

InfoSphere Business Glossary home page. By default, InfoSphere

Business Glossary searches in the names of terms for the string that you type. You
can use search options to refine your search for terms or change the search criteria
to search for other assets. If workflow is enabled and you have a workflow role,
the search occurs in either the published glossary or in the development glossary,
depending on which version of the business glossary you are viewing at the time.
By using search options, you can search for any type of business glossary asset:
categories, terms, information governance policies or information governance rules.
You can also search for other types of other assets in the metadata repository.
You can save the search options that you select. The saved search options become
the default search criteria for subsequent searches from the same web browser.
Note:
v Your web browser must have cookies enabled for you to save search criteria.
v You can also search for terms with the Quick Term Finder field that is displayed
in the top-right corner of each business glossary page. With the Quick Term

Chapter 2. Looking up terms in documents with InfoSphere
Business Glossary Anywhere
By using IBM InfoSphere Business Glossary Anywhere, you can look up
information about terms and other metadata repository assets while you work in
other applications from the Windows desktop.
InfoSphere Business Glossary Anywhere displays information about terms and
other assets without requiring you to open IBM InfoSphere Business Glossary in a
web browser.
Instead, with InfoSphere Business Glossary Anywhere, you can search the business
glossary quickly for single words or phrases that you capture from text-based
documents on your computer. When you capture a word, a small window opens
with a list of terms, categories or other assets that have that word in its name or in
its description. This window does not interfere with your other work on the
computer.
You can configure the method of text capture to use keyboard keys and mouse or
just keyboard keys. You can do an extended search to look for more assets, or you
can get further information about the asset by clicking its name. Information
includes context, status, abbreviations, related terms, synonyms, assigned assets,
and other attributes. You can open a new window to see the details page of the
term or category in InfoSphere Business Glossary.
You can also search for references to terms or other assets within IBM Cognos

Business Intelligence and view the business lineage of certain assets, if your
instance of InfoSphere Business Glossary is configured to support these features.
The following example illustrates how a business user gets the company business
definition of terms.
An insurance agent reads a company document on her computer about risks. She
needs to know how her company defines Assigned Risk 3 to process claims
correctly. She selects the phrase Assigned Risk 3 in the document and captures
the phrase by using text capture. InfoSphere Business Glossary Anywhere searches
the names and descriptions of terms and categories in the business glossary on
InfoSphere Information Server for the phrase Assigned Risk 3. The search results
are displayed in an open window on the agent's computer. The agent selects a
particular term from the list to get more information about that term. She can see
the details page of that term in InfoSphere Business Glossary.
