Ken,
Yes, we do compare notes with the federal documents where relevant.
For instance, in the Enterprise Authentication Implementation Roadmap, the concepts and terms in some cases cite the OMB M-0404 E-Authentication Guidance for Federal Agencies. However, we also wrote some of our own definitions to either scope a broader term for use in the Roadmap context or explain a concept more simply or clearly. http://www.nmi-edit.org/roadmap/draft-authn-roadmap-03/1- concepts.html.
In short, glossary definitions will be similar, but not the same.
Best, Ann

Will you, or any one, be doing a terminology/definitions check between glossaries that NMI-Edit has, and what NIST is now disseminating?
If this has not been done, it might be beneficial to the group to have this done by one party - and shared with others.
Using a common glossary could be most advantageous to many - particularly those of us, who are now starting this long IdM/IAM journey with our clientele.
Thanks.

If you are reviewing your identifiers and credentials, consider reading the new NIST draft "An Ontology of Identity Credentials - Part 1: Background Formulation" released on October 6.
