Synonyms define alternative words and phrases for core business terms. Synonyms facilitate communication across the business by converging terminology into one vocabulary.
The synonyms category in the Knowledge Accelerators contains a sample set of terms that represent common industry specific terminology. Each synonym term is mapped to the Business Core Vocabulary term that it describes. In this way, synonyms extend the vocabulary with variations of terminology familiar to different parts of the business. A user can find the synonym term that they are more familiar with and navigate to the consolidated core business term.
