<@U06TM7M40RK> How can I ingest/associate business glossary terms to the columns (metadata) I have ingested in datahub

To associate business glossary terms with columns in DataHub, you can use the DataHub API or the DataHub CLI. Here’s a summary of the process:

  1. Using GraphQL API: You can use the addTerm mutation to associate a glossary term with a specific column in a dataset. This involves specifying the URN of the dataset column and the URN of the glossary term.

  2. Using DataHub CLI: You can prepare a CSV file with the necessary glossary terms and their associations, and then use the DataHub CLI to ingest these associations. The CSV file should include columns for the resource (e.g., column URN), glossary terms, and other relevant metadata.

  3. Using YAML Configuration: If you prefer using YAML, you can define your glossary terms and their associations in a YAML file and ingest it using the DataHub CLI.

For detailed steps and examples, you can refer to the <Terms | DataHub API documentation> and the <https://datahubproject.io/docs/generated/ingestion/sources/csv/#module-csv-enricher|CSV Enricher Documentation>.
