Redefine domain, backbone, and dynamic properties #8

Closed renghardt closed 5 years ago

renghardt commented 5 years ago

I went over our property and category definitions and adjusted them to our new terminology. In the process, PvDs went out of the draft, because they are related to how to get domain properties, not what domain properties exist. But maybe if we find we are missing PvD, we can add it again later.

Also, I realized that several properties relate to both path elements in the same domain and in the backbone. Overall, these categories are quite endpoint-centric, and maybe we want to rethink them at some point - not now though. ;)

Maybe the easiest solution regarding the definition of "Domain" is to not provide a separate definition in the Terminology section, and just keep the definition of "within the first few hops", as it is given now in the "Domain Property" section. At least for the submission tomorrow, and then we can ask the group if they have an idea how to clearly define it.

Thanks for the fixes! I also changed the second "administrative domain" to just "domain", because I think the sentence applied to domains in general. Now we have "administrative" only to explain that "Domain properties […] are usually in the same administrative domain as an endpoint considering them.", and when explicitly talking about an "administrative entity" in the corresponding property.

Also, I changed "set of path elements" to "path segment" because we have a definition for that now.

Is this ready to merge?
