Question 1/4 - Terms and definitions
(Continuation of Question 1/4 studied in 2001-2004)
- Motivation
To make available suitable terms and definitions needed by personnel concerned with telecommunication management activities; to reach a systematic categorization of management terms and definitions with the aim to avoid repetitions and inconsistencies; to coordinate in certain areas, a unified view of management terms within Study Group 4, and support coordination of uniform terminology across other Study Groups.
- Question
Study items to be considered include, but are not limited to:
What additions or changes regarding terms and definitions required for Study Group 4 Recommendations are needed?
- Tasks
Tasks include, but are not limited to:
- While the primary approach for specifying terms and definitions should be to include them within related Recommendations and then reference them as needed from other Recommendations, considerations may be given to other approaches to benefit specific groups of users. For example, it may be beneficial to gather terms and definitions relevant to a single Recommendation series into one Recommendation. In particular, the role of and the terms and definitions in Recommendation M.60 need to be confirmed or amended.
- Alternative ways of categorizing all terms and definitions may be examined by taking into account different criteria, e.g., ordering on a basis of services and networks, or via a layering of the telecommunications infrastructure into services, networks and management support.
- Relationships
The Working Parties of SG 4, and ITU-T Study Groups 2, 7, 8, 11, 13, 15 and 16.
