I have identified a simple and useful document at the following URL:

Here are some samples.

0) The text currently reads:

-------------
Biometrics are measurable physical characteristics or personal
behavioral traits that can be used to recognize the identity of an
individual, or to verify a claimed identity.
-------------


1) First proposal (from the Biometric Consortium website,
http://www.biometrics.org/html/introduction.html):

-------------
Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing a person based on a
physiological 
or behavioral characteristic. 
-------------


2) Second proposal (an older definition from the Biometric Consortium
website, still preferred by somebody):

-------------
Biometrics is a means of automatically recognizing a person using
distinguishing traits.
-------------


3) Third proposal (from OSS Nokalva's BioFoundry web pages,
http://www.oss.com/products/biometrics.html):

-------------
Biometrics is an open-ended set of technologies based on the measurement

of some physical characteristics of human beings for the purpose of
identifying 
an individual or verifying identity.
-------------


Please choice one.
