Business Glossary

The MISMO Business Glossary is a business-friendly glossary of terms and definitions representing content from MISMO and non-MISMO sources.  The glossary includes information about common business processes, business events, business terms, calculations, documents, forms and much more. There are over 7,000 terms within the glossary and it continues to grow!

MISMO published an updated version of the Business Glossary and associated User Guide in October of 2024.

MISMO's Business Glossary Content is derived from the following  sources of content:

  • Data Governance & Management CoP (DGM)

  • LDD Attribute
  • LDD Document
  • MBA Glossary
  • MISMO (Non-LDD)

Term Types and Focus Areas are included to provide added context for MISMO Business Glossary terms. Term Types and Focus Areas are a way to group related terms. Every term in the Glossary is associated with a single specified Term Type. Further, terms in the Glossary may be assigned one or more Focus Areas.
