Business Term relationships to Semantical (Logical) Data Model | Operating model

Which relation types are recommended to be used for Business Terms in the Business Glossary? It seems to be natural for me to connect also Data Entities to them, but in Guided Stewardship only Data Attributes are offered. I went over several documentation, community articles etc. but haven't found why a direct relation from Business Terms to Data Entities are not seen as best practice. Either a relation to Data Domains and thus to Data Entities or a relation directly to a Data Attribute is mentioned. Please help me to understand the reason behind!https://productresources.collibra.com/docs/collibra/latest/Content/Assets/Characteristics/Relations/RelationTypes/ref_relation-types.htmhttps://community.collibra.com/forum/best-practices-83/topic/help-grow-our-universal-metadata-model-6427/This article also draws the line only the data attribute. But there could be also a business term for the sales account (which should also be clearly defined in the glossary).https://www.collibra.com/blog/the-secret-to-trusted-ai-it-s-your-semantic-layer
