Question 3/I - Terminology
(continuation of Question 3/II, 1985-1988)

Considering

(a) that the purpose of terminology work in the CCITT is to define the
terms used in CCITT Recommendations to contribute to a better
understanding of these Recommendations;

(b) that the preparation of Recommendations for new services normally
require a consistent vocabulary and agreed definitions to be applied;

(c) that certain existing definitions may need to be modified, taking
into
account changes in technology;

(d) that easy reference to definitions should be possible, especially
for
those general definitions applicable for the work of the whole Study
Group;

(e) that continuous effort should be made to establish consistency in
the terminology of various non-voice Recommendations,

the evaluation and on-going study of appropriate terminology in the
field of non-voice services should be performed in a coordinated
fashion. The aim is to have the appropriate experts develop the
definitions of the relevant terms in their F-Series Recommendations
and to include them in the Recommendation in which the term is used
and/or in a separate Recommendation or Supplement in the F-Series
dedicated to terminology. (Refer to Supplementary No. 1 of the
F-Series Recommendations.)
