Point of clarification: For this discussion, a business glossary captures the definition of the concept being defined. This is not to be confused with a data dictionary which we will define as the technical definition of a particular instance of concept. The glossary describes the concept; the dictionary describes the actual data element that captures that concept. See http://tdan.com/data-dictionary-vs-business-glossary/24652.

In research, the ability to appropriately describe and even cite a compendium of data is very important. Organizations with a research function would be well served to ensure that any definition of collective nouns for data elements works for both administrative and research functions.
