2.3      Terms and Definitions

(1)   Terms are introduced throughout this standard, indicated by italic type.  Informational definitions of terms are given in Appendix B , Glossary.  Definitions of terms used from other standards, such as the IEEE Standard Glossary of Software Engineering Terminology [IEEE Std. 610.12-1990], ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996 [IEEE/ANSI Std 1003.1, 1996 Edition], Information Technology – Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), or IFIP WG10.4 Dependability: Basic Concepts and Terminology [IFIP WG10.4-1992], are so marked.  Terms not defined in this standard are to be interpreted according to the Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language.  Terms explicitly defined in this standard are not to be presumed to refer implicitly to similar terms defined elsewhere.  A full description of the syntax and semantics of the concept represented by the terms is found in the respective document sections, clauses, and subclauses.
