Title: Project Glossary
Post by: CheriS on May 14, 2011, 12:54:49 am

We plan to deploy EA into a central repository. This repository will consist of multiple projects (root nodes).

Is there a way to develop/report (document) individual glossaries for each root node?

CheriS,

    A glossary is part of the project's documentation.  So, different projects have different glossaries as default.  (You can import and export them.)

But because EA conflates the idea of Repository and Project, you can only have one Glossary per repository although one can have multiple Project Roots per Repository.

It would be nice if some of the reference data (like the glossary) could be loaded dynamically from a (version controlled) xmi (like it's done with the MDG). In that way you could set up a global glossary across many projects. Having a project local repository in addition to overwrite global terms  would be an extra plus.

Because EA does not support this, we manage the glossaries externally.
