-
- Since Usergloss did not meet in Atlanta, this was the second meeting of
- the Working Group. The objectives of the Working Group remain unchanged
- since it's inception, the creation of a glossary of networking terms and
- acronyms for the Internet community.
-
- The primary sources for the glossary are existing glossaries. They are:
- Carl Malamud's online, all inclusive glossary; the glossary from FYI 4
- (RFC 1206); Ole Jacobson's Interop glossary; and NCAR's online glossary.
- Additional sources may be NASA's online glossary and the Internet Tour
- glossary.
-
- The introduction will include a section which describes how to get more
- information. It will mention the FYI series and the Official Standards
- RFC.
-
- The entries will be organized in alphabetical order (case insensitive).
- Acronyms will be listed independently of the descriptive text. For
- example:
-
-
-
- IANA - see Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
- ...
- Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)
- <descriptive text>
-
-
-
- The document will be available in ASCII format. In addition, it may be
- made available in PostScript, Hypertext or Websters formats. Additional
- format availability is dependent upon User Services Working Group
- resources.
-
- Some index categories have been tentatively identified. They are:
- applications, protocols, Internet organizations, networks (e.g.,
- mid-level networks), and address types (e.g., internet address). It is
- possible that a glossary entry may appear in multiple categories.
