The Glossary helps you avoid miscommunication by providing two essential resources:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
A central location to look for terms and abbreviations that are new to development team members
</li>
<li>
Definitions of terms that are used in specific ways within the domain
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Definitions for the Glossary terms come from several sources, such as requirements documents, specifications, and
discussions with Stakeholders and domain experts.

<!-- START:keyConsiderations,-iOn7_gfX_iELWRNGJ2JKPQ CRC: 1818373714 --><p>
In some projects that do not involve business or domain modeling, the Glossary is the primary artifact for capturing
information about the project's business domain.
</p>
<p>
Although listed as an output from, and an input to tasks associated with the requirements discipline, this artifact can
be updated at any time, by any role, as new terms are identified.

<!-- START:purpose,-iOn7_gfX_iELWRNGJ2JKPQ CRC: 1225574207 -->The goal is for the Glossary to provide a common vocabulary agreed upon by all Stakeholders. It can help people from
different functional groups reach a mutual understanding of the system. The goal is not to record all possible terms, but
only those that are unclear, ambiguous, or require elaboration.<!-- END:purpose,-iOn7_gfX_iELWRNGJ2JKPQ -->

This is a simple alphabetized listing of domain terms and their definitions. It can be captured in a spreadsheet,
document, or published on a Wiki site to simplify access and maintenance.
