RE: [election-services] Urgent - 15th April response to NIST / EAI glossary

["Borras, John" <John.Borras@legsb.gov.uk>]

David
You'll find the EML Glossary of terms in the Process document.  We spent a lot of time agonising over terminology as it confused us no end in the early days, but you will have to emphasis our Glossary is what we are using within the TC for EML definition.  It in no way implies universal agreement on the terms.

Subject: [election-services] Urgent - 15th April response to NIST / EAI
glossary
Importance: High


Team,

NIST have asked for input on their glossary.  See below.

I believe we need to add several terms germaine to OASIS EML.

Clearly EML - Election Markup Language is missing for starters.

I can volunteer to coordinate submissions from OASIS EML TC
to the folks at NIST.

Can you please send me your suggestions in the same format
they are using - e.g.

Electronic Cast Vote Record (ECVR): Deprecated, replaced by Cast Vote Record
(CVR).
Association: voting
Source: IEEE 1583

Thanks, DW
