Terms and definitions
General
Every OGC standard requires a “Terms and definitions” clause to hold terminology entries important to the standard.
The “Terms and definitions” section provides a single point of truth for terms and concepts used within this standard. Content in the “Terms and definitions” section is considered normative.
Optionally, if there are informative terminology entries, OGC allows a “Glossary” section to be set in an Annex, which only consists of informative terms.
Terminology models
Terminology entries in OGC and ISO adhere to the terminology model from the international standard for terminology representation, ISO 10241-1.
The organization of terminology entries within the section should follow the defined conceptual hierarchies specified in ISO 704.
Terminology clauses
Normative terms are to be kept in the “Terms and definitions” clause, which is always to be located at Clause 3.
