NOTE: We may later replace or enhance this with the approach to term, abbreviations and references being set out by the OMG Vocabularies for Communities of Interest WG. In the mean time, please feel free to add any references and notes on these pages informally, including whatever information you feel is of relevance (this will help VCoI firm up the best process for maintaining references under their proposals).
