• Drummond Reed mentioned that ToIP Glossary Workspace is a primarily aimed at helping trust registry and trust spanning protocol specs within Technology Stack WG. The aim is for these specifications to have a complete and hyper-linkable vocabulary similar to W3C specs.
• To facilitate this, they have created a workspace using Google Docs to compile and track the terms they are using. The workspace contains a glossary of terms with definitions and sources. The terms are hyperlinked within the document, allowing easy navigation and reference. The glossary has been continuously expanding with contributions from Drummond Reed, Neil, and Reeks, among others.
• Most of the terms (80%) refer to external resources.
• Drummond wants the GSWG to also contribute to this glossary document.
• End goal is that this glossary works for all of the specs/WGs. If a mark-up is used, then specification specific glossary can be produced.
• Neil Thomson mentioned that there are whole bunch of terms that needs to be make made more crisp/clear (e.g. trust) from a governance perspective. The importance of looking at issues from an overall perspective, considering both technical and governance aspects. He also discussed about different types of trust including two extremes of trust: the mathematically provable trust and administrative trust. Overall, Neil seems to emphasise the importance of clarifying and standardising concepts, governance models, and trust mechanisms within ecosystems to enable better interoperability and comparison between different systems.

Action Items

• Scott Perry along with Drummond to craft an email to WGs to solicit volunteers for this task
