GCG

Glossary Coordination Group (GCG)

The Glossary Coordination Group has been established to define and maintain a shared glossary across all the functional areas within EGI. The glossary will provide a common reference for the meanings of relevant terms used in the EGI context. The main goal is to enable a consistent usage of terminology with a well defined scope and stable meaning by EGI policies and procedures.

Communication and Working Procedure

• All members of the Group are subscribed to the mailing list gcg-discuss@mailman.egi.eu and should use it as the primary written communication channel.

• The Policy Development Team collects a preliminary list of terms with definitions and submit the working document on google documents that is available for the members to comment and discuss.

• Request for the introduction of new terms and definitions or review should be submitted to the mailing list and the Chair will decide what is the most appropriate mode to deal with the request.

• Wherever possible, the GCG will agree on the proposed terms and definition by clear consensus, as determined by the Chair.

• The group will periodically release a document "EGI Glossary" with the most updated agreed set of terms; the document will have a version number; all the future EGI policies and procedures documents must reference the "EGI Glossary" document and the related section and use the terms consistently
