1 Introduction
A requirements glossary makes explicit and provides definitions for the salient terms in a requirements document. A requirements glossary may further provide information about the synonyms, related terms, and example usages of the salient terms. The stakeholders of a system may consult the requirements glossary for various reasons, e.g., to familiarize themselves with the technical terms in the system’s domain, to learn about everyday words that may have a specific meaning in the system, to look up abbreviations and related terms, and to understand terminology variations.
