The Role of Terminology Databases in Inter-operability 
Inter-operability is defined as the ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged (source: IEEE Standard Computer Dictionary).

A glossary is an alphabetically arranged list of terms, with a definition or an explanation of each term. A term can be a single word or many words. Typically, in a printed document, the glossary is at the end of the document. Usually, in online help, each term in a topic, or the first instance of a term, has a popup that explains the term.
