Glossary

1. Introduction

The glossary is used to define terminology specific to the project, explaining terms that may be unfamiliar to the reader of the use-case descriptions or other project documents. This document can be used as an informal data dictionary, capturing data definitions so that use-case descriptions and other project documents can focus on what the system must do with the information.

Abbreviation and Acronyms

[The abbreviations and acronyms used though out the project artifacts should be listed in this section. A definition should be provided in the definitions section for each term listed here. They can be defined in any order desired, but generally alphabetical order provides the greatest accessibility.]

Definitions

[The terms defined here form the essential substance of the document. They can be defined in any order desired, but generally alphabetical order provides the greatest accessibility]

[Sometimes it is useful to organize terms into groups to improve readability. For example, if the problem domain contains terms related to both accounting and building construction (as would be the case if we were developing a system to manage construction projects), presenting the terms from the two different sub-domains might prove confusing to the reader. To solve this problem, we use groupings of terms. Terms presented within the group should be organized alphabetically for easy access.]
