Hi, in Business Glossary are there any plans to support nested terms? In someway this is similar to the concept of containers, with the difference that the parent/child assets would be of the same type. This would be useful for defining taxonomies and have a better organized glossary.

There are a few ways we support this at the moment- firstly, you can nest your glossary nodes as deeply as you wish. So using glossary nodes, you are able to construct that hierarchy. At the same time, you can also nest terms within one another. Glossary Terms have a SchemaMetadata aspect: https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/blob/master/metadata-models/src/main/resources/entity-registry.yml#L133
With this, you can attach a schema to a glossary term, and then apply glossary terms to each field within that schema.
