GLOSSARY OF TERMS
The aim of the glossary for the man-machine language is to include terms used in describing the man-machine language. It comprises, in alphabetical order, terms used in the Z.300-series Recommendations that have a special significance in the MML context and hence require definition. Terms comprising words used in their ordinary, every day sense, i.e. unambiguous and self-explanatory words, are not included.
The terms in italics in the text of the definitions are defined elsewhere in this glossary. If a term has one meaning within the context of Recommendations Z.321-Z.323, and another within the context of Recommendations Z.331-Z.333, then the meaning in the former context follows i), and the meaning in the latter follows ii).

ANNEX A
(to Recommendation Z.341)
70 Fascicle X.7 -- Rec. Z.341
Classification of terms
A.1 Introduction
This annex classifies the MMI terms according to the following classification scheme.
The purpose of this classification is to partition MMI terms into conceivable collections:
a) to users of the MMI Recommendations;
b) to those who can benefit from the knowledge of MMI terms, such as programmers; and
c) to developers of the MMI Recommendations, for the identification of new work items, the organization of future work and new Recommendations.
Fascicle X.7 -- Rec. Z.341 71
The classes are intended to aid the identification and delimitation of the scope of the terms and therefore enhance the readability of the Recommendations and specifications. For example, an MMI designer who wants to document the terms to be used at the MMI can use this classification to organize the MMI documentation. The following defines MMI terms and describes their use.
This classification scheme is inspired by the conceptual scheme work [1] within ISO. The application area and scope are, however, different.
A.2 Overview
The totality of MMI terms is divided into classes shown in Figure A-1/Z.341. The classes can form a hierarchical structure. If a term is applicable to more than one class, it may appear in the most general class.
|
The classes can very well be divided into subclasses. |

A.3 |
Classes and their usage The following text defines different classes, explains their usage and gives examples of their |
contents. Terms are |
classified as application- independent and application-dependent terms. These classes are classified into subclasses.
72 Fascicle X.7 -- Rec. Z.341
1) Application-independent terms
Terms which can be common for all MMI applications:
a) Primitives
Terms which cannot be further defined but are used to define other terms.
Users: Everyone, in particular, language designers. End users can read system documentation which applies these terms.
Examples: Predicates, logical connectors, quantifiers, terms, etc.
b) Metaterms
General terms which are not restricted to the classes listed below.
This class includes common terms from mathematics and logic as well as general terms such as time and space.
|
Users: Everyone, in particular, language designers. Examples: Arithmetics, algebra, etc. Space, time, terminology, phenomenon, etc. c) System specification terms |
End users can read system documentation which |
Terms restricted to one system description language, often aimed at one application area.
Users: Everyone, in particular, applications system designers including MMI designers. End users can read system documentation which applies these terms.
|
Example: Block channel, signal, etc. n basic SDL. Flow line, non-terminal input symbol, etc., in the MML metalanguage. Entity, relationship, domain, cardinality, etc., in the Entity-relationship approach. d) Application-independent MMI manipulation and presentation terms. |
|
Terms needed to manipulate all MMI terms and to present terms common for all MMI applications. d1) MMI manipulation terms Terms which can be used to manipulate other terms. Users: Everyone who applies a man-machine interface, both end users and system developers. Examples: Next page, delete window, etc. Retrieve (from database to screen), insert (from screen to database). |
|
d2) MMI presentation terms Terms which are needed to present other terms. Presentation terms are intended to present other terms. Users: Everyone who observes a man-machine interface, |
both end users and system developers. |
|
Examples: Window, window area, field, pixel, etc. Common field, work window area, etc. |
2) Application-dependent terms
Fascicle X.7 -- Rec. Z.341 73
Terms which are not common for all MMI applications.
e) MMI terms for operations and maintenance
e1) computer equipment and computer software
Terms used for the management of softward and equipment through their whole life cycle.
Users: Everyone who explicitly accesses, installs or supports computer resources, or administers their availability including access administration.
Examples: Machine, terminal, program, program statement database, etc.
Logon, backup, suspend, etc.
74 Fascicle X.7 -- Rec. Z.341
|
e2) telecommunications networks and services Terms for the Administrations' manipulation and presentation of telecommunications networks and services. Users: Everyone in the Administrations who administers telecommunications networks or services. Examples: Subscriber, multiplex group, traffic intensity, installation plan, subscriber equipment, etc. Subscriber identity, circuit identity, etc. Insertion of routing data, etc. |
f ) MMI terms for the use of telecommunications networks and services
Terms which are specific for the subscribers' manipulation and presentation of telecommunications networks and services.
|
Users: Everyone who applies telecommunications networks or services. Examples: Dial up, send Teletex, electronic envelope, etc. g) Other application-dependent terms Any application-dependent term which is not listed above. Users: Everyone who applies MMIs for manipulating or presenting data concerned |
with the actual topics. |

|
Examples: Employee number, salary information, etc. |
