Glossary for the S-Series IPS Specifications: SX001G

Interoperability across the S-Series IPS Specifications relies on a shared and consistent terminology. The SX001G Glossary is a consolidated resource that provides the essential terms, definitions, and acronyms used throughout the S-Series, guiding users towards a common language and understanding.

Purpose and scope

The SX001G Glossary is designed to manage and standardize:

• Central Business Terms: Definitions for key business concepts used across the S-Series IPS Specifications.
• Data Model Terminology: Definitions for all terms utilized within the S-Series IPS Specifications data models.
• Approved Abbreviations and Acronyms: A set of standard abbreviations and acronyms that can be consistently applied within the specifications and their corresponding data models.

Why it matters

Historically, collaboration on terminology across the S-Series Specifications has been inconsistent. The establishment of SX001G not only aids users in comprehending central concepts but also serves as a critical tool to harmonize terminology across all S-Series IPS Specifications. By unifying the language used, the glossary ensures clarity and improves communication among all stakeholders.

Maintaining consistency

Rules and guidelines for authoring and updating the SX001G Glossary are managed by the Data Model and Exchange Working Group (DMEWG). This ongoing collaboration ensures that the glossary remains current and aligned with the evolving S-Series framework.
