9.9. SSDs and the Glossary
The terms shown in SSDs (operations, parameters, return data) are terse. These may need proper explanation so that during design work it is clear what is coming in and going out. If this was not explicated in the use cases, the Glossary could be used.
However, as always when discussing the creation of artifacts other than code (the heart of the project), be suspicious. There should be some truly meaningful use or decision made with the Glossary data, otherwise it is simply low-value unnecessary work.
