Course Registration System Glossary


1. Introduction
This document is used to define terminology specific to the problem domain, explaining terms, which may
be unfamiliar to the reader of the use-case descriptions or other project documents. Often, this document
can be used as an informal data dictionary, capturing data definitions so that use-case descriptions and
other project documents can focus on what the system must do with the information.
