Custom abbreviation files for name generation

To extend the business vocabulary that is used with the Expand metadata enrichment option, you can create custom abbreviation files.

You can add abbreviation files for specific use cases to your projects.

You create an abbreviation file as a CSV file that must conform to these formatting rules:

• The CSV file does not have a header row.

• The CSV file consists of one or more rows in this format: name, abbreviation1, ..., abbreviationN

  name

  The expanded asset or column name to be assigned or suggested.

  abbreviation1 to abbreviationN

  A list of abbreviations of the name to be used for matching. For example, you might define CUST as an abbreviation of CUSTOMER.

  !

  In general, all abbreviations of a name are loaded and used. If you specify an abbreviation with !, all abbreviations of the name that were loaded prior to this particular abbreviation are removed. The previously loaded abbreviations can be in the same or a different file.

You can include the same name multiple times in a single abbreviation file. You can also provide more than one abbreviation file and include abbreviations for the same name in multiple files. The file names must follow this convention:

abbreviationN.csv

N is a consecutive number. The first abbreviation file must be named abbreviation0.csv.

To upload abbreviation files:

1. In the project, click Import assets.
2. Select Local file and click Data asset.
3. Browse your local file system for the CSV files to upload.
