Metapedia - Best practice

Hi gurus,

I am tasked to setup Metapedia dictionary for a specific department. I am aware of the technicality of the tool but not sure where to start on capturing terms. :nopity:
Now the department already has reports built, what would be a good strategy to:

  1. create a strucutre in Excel to start capturing data terms and description?
  2. should the terms come from the WebI dimension and measure?
  3. how do you handle when the same field is used in multiple departments since Metapedia does not allow the same term name?
  4. How should the Categories be defined to organize the terms? Should the Universe classes become categories and sub categories?

Thank you.
