Starting from Statbel's open data catalog (485 datasets, 214 field dictionaries, 2,089 distinct column names), the terms were analysed, grouped into five glossaries and defined following a standard and a guideline. They were then loaded and approved in OpenMetadata. This page is generated from the catalog by a small script, so it always shows the governed content.
In a real organisation, users ask their question on the term page of the catalog and the owner answers; a new term or a change follows the review and approval process of the standard. Here, the content is a demonstration on public data.
