TMF071 Open Digital Framework Terminology v8.0.1

This document provides a glossary of terminology relevant within EBA, DPRA, ODA and ODF documentation published up to Release 19.5 as well as the Release 20.0 documents that have been published when this version was closed for publication. Terms from the remaining Release 20.0 documents will be mined in the next version of the glossary. In addition to Open Digital Framework (ODF) terms that are introduced in the documents published in the current sprint, there are terms taken or derived from external industry publications, or existing TM Forum documents. For the latter category, we will continue performing during the next charter period, an assessment of the impact ODA terminology may have on existing TM Forum documents. See also Future work item W03. Furthermore, some words within the glossary are more significant in the context of ODF. We represent this variation in significance by a word cloud. We hope that this simple representation of the weight we would like to attach to the use of words in this glossary will assist authors creating TM Forum documentation.
