    A Term in the Subject Area OMAS is a semantic description of something, such as a concept, object, asset, technology, role or group. A Term lives in a Glossary. Terms can be categorised, which gives them context. Categories are hierarchical. Terms can be grouped into projects, for particular groups of people to work with. Terms can be related to other terms and can form ontologies. Terms can be classified. Terms can be semantically assigned to assets. A term can be a spine object, spine attribute and/or an object identifier. This allows terms to be grouped into objects that have attributes and identity.
