Comment :  I wanted to submit something to EAI glossary work from the OASIS EML side.  

Unfortunately while EML has two documents that by themselves contain much that should be in a glossary - right now this has not been extracted out separately - so the terms and usage is embedded in the text. Instead there is a element data dictionary - and that is clearly not the same focus as a glossary.  

Nevertheless - I feel it useful to send along these two documents - since I'm sure they will be good reference points for EAI as they compile and understand their glossary terms.  

An example would be "responsible officer" which is defined on page 41 of the Terms and Use.  

I've attached - Appendix A PDF and Terms and Use extract from the EML specifications. (see EML-Appendix A -Threats and Counters.pdf from email 12 April) ((also see EML - Terms and Use.pdf from email 12 April))

More can be obtained from the OASIS webiste - http://www.oasis-open.org and the ELM area as needed.
