## About this demo

### What the template covers (with page references)

- **What SQL assets are:** tables, views, and models that store and manage data.
- **Naming conventions (pages 1-2):** business aliases that are descriptive, distinct, jargon-free, and formatted in title case.
- **Ownership (page 3):** asset creators and admins assign themselves and others as responsible parties, preventing duplication and ensuring accountability.
- **Descriptions (pages 3-4):** full sentences that clearly describe content and include examples of the data stored.
- **Announcements (pages 4-6):** flag issues, share updates, and notify users of warnings, with categories such as information, issue, and warning.
- **Tags (page 7):** group related assets for easier discovery and access control.
- **Certificates (page 8):** indicate asset reliability with statuses such as Verified, Draft, or Deprecated.
- **Assigning and transferring ownership (pages 9-10):** clear processes, approvals, and knowledge transfers.
- **Linked Assets (page 11):** connecting SQL assets to glossary terms and metrics for transparency and alignment.

Following the template improves data clarity, reduces duplication, ensures accountability, and scales governance practices. It serves as both a training aid and a practical reference for building SQL asset documentation strategies.
