Dear Tom and All,
I will  put one item in the Agenda of the CESG Telecon   - and also of 
future CCSDS sessions - to recap  the discussion about the SANA Glossary, 
and its relation with the Glossaries of the CCSDS books.
Namely: 
-       current situation of the SANA Glossary, where terms are derived 
from normative as well as informative sources
-       Evolution of the SANA Glossary , having either of the following 
targets in mind: 
 o      to clearly identify/distinguish between normative vs. informative 
terms (depending if e.g. they come from blue or from green books), or 
o       to only leave normative terms in, thus aiming at fully normative 
role of the Glossary 
o       other proposals, next steps and roadmap 
-       Terms and definitions replicated from copyrighted ISO publications 
(issue is mainly with the Security Glossary)  for which CCSDS does not 
(yet) have ISO permission 

Kind regards,
Margherita

I think perhaps the term “normative” needs to be defined in the SANA 
Glossary: Even though the SANA Glossary contains terms derived from 
normative as well as informative sources, the purpose of having the 
glossary is to normalize the terms within the CCSDS. The Glossary is in 
fact intended to be “normative” for the CCSDS regardless of the source of 
the terms: we do adjure all document developers that they should consult 
it, preferentially use terms defined in it, not arbitrarily redefine terms 
that already exist in it, etc.
 
Unfortunately, the SANA Glossary is also in a draft state, so discussions 
of its normative force are academic at the present time.

There is an additional case: terms defined in an informative annex of a 
Blue Book.   :o)

I would say that's a "qualified yes".  The normative documents in CCSDS 
are Blue and Magenta, and so the documents are authoritative.  The 
Glossary only contains terms that are published in CCSDS documents and it 
includes the references to those source documents.
 
The "qualified" part is that there are terms in the Glossary that were 
were pulled in from Green Books.  As such these are not normative.  So as 
long as you stick with terms from normative documents I think you are on 
safe ground.
 
Thanks, Peter

Peter 
 
Question - in its current state, can a CCSDS document use the SANA 
glossary as a normative reference?

Guys,
 
Once this document is approved those terms will be entered into / updated 
in the SANA Terminology registry.
 
That is the process and has been for years.
 
Thanks, Peter

Howie,
 
Glad to hear you agree with getting the terms into SANA. With regard to 
getting “it” into SANA (existing glossary and/or security terms glossary – 
“it” was not quite clear to me but I assume security terms) I think that 
is something best initiated under the cognizance of the SE Area.  I’ll be 
happy to “second” any motion if need be, but I think the origin for any 
such request has to be with the SE Area. I am copying Peter on this email.
 
Best regards,
-Erik

Glossary
 
Erik and Jonathan
 
I just saw your comments regarding the Information Security Glossary and I 
couldn’t agree with you more. 
 
It has always been our plan that the glossary move into SANA.  Others have 
voiced the same opinion.  However, there has been no movement.  I’ve heard 
that the existing glossary found on the SANA web site required the first 
attention since its not been reviewed or revised.  Maybe you guys can 
initiate some movement to get it into SANA?
 
Regards
 
howie

CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:
 
     Erik Barkley (Approve Unconditionally):  A comment/question (not a 
condition):  Seems like it would make sense to have this in SANA rather 
than a book -- has that been considered? In terms of normative application 
the MB could still be normative in identifying SANA registry and the 
update/governance policy.
 
     Jonathan Wilmot (Approve
Unconditionally):  I agree with Eric that glossaries would be better in 
SANA as they are living documents that will change over time.  Example: 
where would terms from BPsec be placed?
