The most important domain and technical terms that your stakeholders use when discussing the system.
You can also see the glossary as source for translations if you work in multi-language teams.
You should clearly define your terms, so that all stakeholders
-
have an identical understanding of these terms
-
do not use synonyms and homonyms
A table with columns <Term> and <Definition>.
Potentially more columns in case you need translations.
