Abstract
Techniques are disclosed to facilitate consistency between a glossary and a repository, where the glossary includes one or more terms and the repository includes information sets. Each information set includes a definition for a respective term and a range of valid values for the respective term. A request is received to approve a first information set in the repository, where the first information set pertains to a first term in the glossary. The first information set is designated as an active information set for the first term. A subsequent request is received to assign the first term in the glossary to a second information set in the repository, where the second information set is different from the first information set. An information set to designate as the active information set for the first term is programmatically determined based on a predefined consistency criterion.
