Some definitions in the glossary are overly specific, referencing particular solutions instead of describing the concepts in a more generic way. Since the glossary, like the use cases, is meant to be solution-agnostic, it would be better to generalise these terms. Additionally, some entries are incomplete or inconsistent in detail. That said, the glossary provides a starting point.
@csarven all definitions come from an authoritative source, like NIST or W3C. I don't see in any way how they would reference any particular solution. Can you please be more specific about which definition and what would be your suggested verbiage? |

If you want to re-use existing terms from "authoritative" sources, simply link to them instead of redefining or paraphrasing. Referencing specific specifications, e.g., Controlled Identifier (Document) locks the terms - which obviously limits alternative interpretations or solutions. The UC document should remain solution-agnostic, focusing on core concepts rather than prescribing a single approach. Also, if strict definitions from external sources are the standard here, it's unclear why key terms like "Storage", "Application", and many other remain undefined after extensive discussion. And, there are still many other that's not listed or defined here. So, perhaps let's just get this PR in and hope for the best in the follow ups.. |

Every entry should be standalone and probably end with a period.
