expressor initiator
expressor initiator is a Windows desktop application that allows data stewards to rapidly populate the semantic dictionary in expressor repositor. expressor initiator is especially useful when a large number of terms and business definitions must be added to the dictionary because it can process a collection of entries from external spreadsheets or database tables in a single batch.

expressor initiator allows data stewards to import terms and definitions from external sources in bulk and rationalize them against existing definitions in the semantic dictionary.
expressor initiator includes built in syntax checking and data validation, and it will rationalize newly imported business definitions against definitions already in the dictionary. When a new definition is encountered, stewards can complete the description through an easy-to-use grid interface rather than extensive text entry. Because this new productivity tool allows semantic definitions and terms to be created and edited in bulk, users can complete the description of multiple definitions in a single operation.
Since input to expressor initiator can be an Excel spreadsheet or a connection to a database table, individuals unfamiliar with the complete suite of expressor integrator tools can still contribute to the process of initializing the expressor dictionary and building support for the semantic rationalization process.
