The Unicode Consortium's glossary uses the following definition:

Script: a collection of symbols used to represent text in one or more writing systems.

They seem to have updated the definition:

Script: A collection of letters and other written signs used to represent textual information in one or more writing systems. For example, Russian is written with a subset of the Cyrillic script; Ukrainian is written with a different subset. The Japanese writing system uses several scripts.
