What is the status of this? Following many questions related to terminology at the May 2018 commissioning bootcamp, the Željko asked for a DM glossary. I'd like to assign a dm-sst resource to drive this forward

We had a discussion about it at the DM-SST meeting today.  We reassembled (for the Nth time!) the list of all extant glossaries, and I was tasked with having a conversation with Jonathan Sick about it, because of a connection to documentation needs of the LSP.

I'll report back on that soon.

Something related to glossaries, is a word list that you might find in a content style guide (DM-11462). The word list helps create a controlled vocabulary so that content authors (folks writing user documentation) know which word to use when writing documentation. I'm wondering if the glossary system we consolidate towards could also have a usage notes field so that I can generate our content style guide's word usage list from our glossary as well?

I have not done anything on this. MagicDraw does have a glossary database so that words in requirements are automatically mapped to the glossary entry. Dumping the glossary to a document or other database periodically does seem plausible.

Jonathan Sick see the new file glossarydefs.csv - generateAcronyms.py  uses only the first 3 columns .. we could easily add usage note help in there as well

Tim Jenness - I think we could close this - apart form the EA part - but that could perhpas be another ticket now.

I'm fine with you closing it. We can work out the magicdraw plan later when things have settled down.
