Differentiation between general terms and their specific usage in the SACM context #9

Closed henkbirkholz closed 8 years ago

henkbirkholz commented 9 years ago

The current terminology uses quite generic terms, such as Consumer, and assigns very SACM-specific meaning to them. On one hand it might be beneficial to highlight the specific context of general terms by prefixing them with “SACM” (e.g. SACM Consumer). One the other hand, that might be more tedious to read.

Would prefixing some terms create too much overhead in the text? (comprehensibility vs. readability).

There are areas where a prefix could be considered necessary, e.g. Endpoint, Target Endpoint, SACM Endpoint (an Endpoint that contains a SACM Component).

in general, definitions that are "build upon" are cited, similar terms are referenced if deemed necessary (e.g. control plane)
