Systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products to transform a lexicon that describes an information asset are provided. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a term validation component that can determine from a subject matter expert, a validated term that can indicate validation of a candidate term that describes an information asset. The computer executable components can further comprise a lexicon transforming component that, based on the validated term, can transform a lexicon that describes the information asset, by incorporating the validated term into the lexicon.
