The Data Foundation and Terminology Working Group is engaged to describe a basic abstract data organization model with a derived reference data terminology that can be used across communities and stakeholders to better synchronize conceptualization, enable better understanding within and between communities and stimulate tool building. The 2 sessions at the 3rd Plenary will largely be devoted to briefing, review and discussion of the candidate vocabulary and the underlying models they are based on.  Two Use Cases from the community will be presented as examples of relevant work along with emerging standards such as ITU-T X.1255.  The WG will focus on reaching consensus on a core set of terms organized around 10 area.
