Is there a referencible glossary of terms and definitions we can use? ...or do we need to build a glossary/terminology list as we go?
As an example, people in today's first WG meeting were asking and questioning the definitions of: ephemeral, web-based, self-resolvable, single-key and decentralized. We will need a great deal of precision and mutual understanding for these terms as well as many others I imagine.

A glossary is a pre-requisite for effective any substantive dialog/debate.

For example, is the ToIP Glossary acceptable to a majority of people? e.g. https://glossary.trustoverip.org/#term:did-document

Digging deeper, it would be awesome if the DID Method category hierarchy (#2) also tied into whatever glossary/taxtonomy solution we decide on.

After discussions on the last ToIP CTWC WG call, it sounds like their glossary with our potential additions meets our glossary requirements.

The ToIP Glossary also has the raw material for creating the basic taxonomy we need to drive the DID Method Clusters.
