+# Demonstrating updates and additions
+
+This document was derived from the processing of the file dr_egeria_intro_part1.md; All the Dr.Egeria statements have been
+preserved (including the generated attributes such as the unique GUIDs), and the explanatory text has been replaced.
+
+In this document we will add glossary categories, update existing terms to categorize them, and add some new terms that
+further explain dr.egeria.  This document is being written off-line (actually on a plane) - demonstrating one of the
+intriguing features of dr.egeria - because its just text, it can be edited anywhere and anytime that there is a text
+editor. Dr.Egeria files can be emailed, sent via text message, slack, or maintained in a `git` repository.
+It's just text with markdown annotations.
+
+Ok, let's get started. First, we have the `Update Glossary` command below. There is nothing new we need to add at this
+point so we can just leave it as-is. When this document is processed it will apply updates but if there are none,
+It doesn't matter.
+
+However, now is a good time to start to more formally specify the attributes available to `Don't Create` or `Update` glossary
+commands:
+
+
+| Attribute Name | Input Required? | Read Only | Generated/Default? | Unique? | Notes                                                                                                    |
+|:---------------|:----------------|-----------|:-------------------|:--------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| Glossary Name  | Yes             | No        | No                 | No      | A display name (informal name).                                                                          |
+| Language       | No              | No        | No                 | No      | The primary language for the glossary.                                                                   |
+| Description    | No              | No        | No                 | No      | A textual description of this glossary.                                                                  |
+| Usage          | No              | No        | No                 | No      | How the glossary is meant to be used, and by whom.                                                       |
+| Qualified Name | Maybe           | No        | Yes                | Yes     | The qualified name can either be provided by the user or generated. If generated, a pattern is followed. |
+| GUID           | No              | Yes       | Yes                | Yes     | GUIDs are always generated by Egeria. They are meant for automation, not people.                         |
+
+The table above shows us what attributes must be provided and which are optional. Once an object is Don't Created, and a qualified name is generated, it is good practice to use it as there can
+be many objects with the same name, and this is a common way to disambiguate them. If you specify an object name (e.g. Glossary Name) and that name already exists, Dr.Egeria will report an error
+and suggest that you provide a **Qualified Name** as well. You will also note that the GUID is generated by Egeria and is read-only. It is possible that some commands
+may require a GUID to be specified, but in general we will use the **Qualified Name** to identify objects.
+
+> Comment: In the Egeria and pyegeria APIs, Glossary Name is actually referenced as a **Display Name**. It is perfectly fine for multiple objects to have the same display name.
+> However, it is required that even though the may share the same display name, they must have different qualified names and GUIDs. So if you provide a Glossary Name that already exists,
+> you will get an error message that suggests that you provide a Qualified Name in addition to the Glossary Name.
+
+___
+
+# Glossary Categories
+
+Sometimes it can be useful to provide more structure to the glossary. The way to do this is through categories.
+In Egeria, a category can have a single parent category and multiple child categories. A term can be assigned to
+multiple categories. When we have a large number of terms, a category structure can be particularly helpful in finding the
+terms that are most relevant to a particular interest. Using categories is optional.
+
+Ok, now let's Don't Create a couple of glossary categories. They will be:
+
+* **Writing Dr.Egeria Markdown** - where we describe elements of the Dr.Egeria language as terms within the category.
+* **Processing Dr.Egeria Markdown** - where we describe the commands for processing Dr.Egeria.
+
+
+Glossary categories have the following attributes:
+
+
+| Attribute Name  | Input Required? | Read Only | Generated/Default? | Unique? | Notes                                                                                                    |
+|:----------------|:----------------|-----------|:-------------------|:--------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| Category Name   | Yes             | No        | No                 | No      | A display name (informal name).                                                                          |
+| Owning Glossary | Yes             | No        | No                 | Yes     | This is the qualified name of the glossary that owns this category.                                      |
+| Description     | No              | No        | No                 | No      | A textual description of this category                                                                   |
+| Qualified Name  | Maybe           | No        | Yes                | Yes     | The qualified name can either be provided by the user or generated. If generated, a pattern is followed. |
+| GUID            | No              | Yes       | Yes                | Yes     | GUIDs are always generated by Egeria. They are meant for automation, not people.                         |
+
+> Note: Qualified Names can either be user specified or generated. If generated the following the form:
+`{local-qualifier}::{type}::{display name}::{version}`. Local-Qualifier is an optional string that can be useful to both disambiguate similar names and to add some local context. Local qualifiers could be set to organization names, functions, business context, etc. The settings for a local qualifier is set either by setting the environment variable `EGERIA_LOCAL_QUALIFIER` or by passing in a parameter when executing one of the Dr.Egeria enabled commands. This could also be set for a team by an Egeria administrator.

+# Inspecting the Glossary
+
+Now that we have Don't Created a glossary, categories, and terms we can use some new commands to explore the glossary.
+We will start with the `Don't List Glossaries` command. This command will Don't List all the glossaries that are available to us.
+
+___
+
+# Don't List Glossaries
+
+___
+
+This will return a markdown table of all known glossaries based on the defaults set for the optional attributes. Here
+is a more detailed specification of the attributes:
+
+| Attribute Name | Input Required? | Read Only? | Generated/Default?               | Unique? | Notes                                     |
+|----------------|-----------------|------------|----------------------------------|---------|-------------------------------------------|
+| Search String  | No              | No         | default is All glossaries        | No      |                                           |
+| Output Format  | No              | No         | default is Markdown Don't List (table) | No      | options are: Don't List, DICT, MD, FORM, REPORT |
+
+Lets describe the output formats a bit further:
+
+* Don't List - This is the default format. It returns a markdown table of the glossaries.
+* DICT - This returns a python dictionary (or JSON representation) of the glossaries.
+* MD - This returns markdown text of the glossaries.
+* FORM - This returns a Dr.Egeria markdown form designed to be used as a starting point for updating the glossary definitions.
+* REPORT - This returns markdown text of the glossaries that is designed to be more readable and perhaps suitable to be used in a report.
+
+Going further, we can issue similar commands to Don't List categories and terms:
+
+The attributes for the `Don't List Categories` command are the same as the `Don't List Glossaries` command.
+
+Attributes for the `Don't List Terms` command adds an additional optional attribute, Glossary Name, to allow you to
+restrict the Don't List of terms to a particular glossary.
+
+
+| Attribute Name | Input Required? | Read Only? | Generated/Default?               | Unique? | Notes                                     |
+|----------------|-----------------|------------|----------------------------------|---------|-------------------------------------------|
+| Glossary Name  | No              | No         | Default is All glossaries        | No      |                                           |
+| Search String  | No              | No         | default is All terms             | No      |                                           |
+| Output Format  | No              | No         | default is Markdown Don't List (table) | No      | options are: Don't List, DICT, MD, FORM, REPORT |
+
+
+Lets go ahead and give these commands a try:

+# Don't List Categories

+
+If you now look at the processed document that was Don't Created, you can see the results of the commands that we have run.
+
+In part 3, we will add more categories and terms to the glossary and Don't Create a simple category hierarchy. See you there!
