Abstract

The purpose of the Sovrin Glossary is (a) to help readers of the Sovrin Governance Framework (SGF) and its Controlled Documents to understand the meaning of the terms that the authors intended to convey, and (b) to help authors of the SGF—and Domain-Specific Governance Frameworks based on it— to convey such meaning in a consistent fashion. Because the SGF addresses the full spectrum of business, legal, and technical policies for Self-Sovereign Identity, the audience for this Glossary includes business analysts, product managers, lawyers, policymakers, regulators, CIOs, compliance officers, software architects, software developers, and IT professionals. The Glossary includes the level of detail needed to accurately document and administer the Sovrin Governance Framework.
