Top-down WG

Synopsis

Top-down WG started formalizing terms polling from the IOF community. The first 20 most popular terms were targeted by the WG. The scope grows based on the additional needs for formalizing the top-20, e.g., additional abstract terms, refactored terms, terms needed to define the top-20, relations, and terms needed by other WGs. The list below shows the initial top-20 terms (or rather term sets).
