Data Adapter Is a product-specific component that is implemented by each product to share its data
Data Broker This is the component where all the web services that share data register themselves
Data Collection Runtime TBD
Data Manager Is a component that hosts one or more Data Adapters, and handles communication with the COSMOS environment
Distro Is a set of (i.e. open source) software components packaged into a working whole and distributed to the user community
Domain model The root of an SML-IF document. Contains a set of definition and instance documents SML Spec
Definition Documents The subset of documents in a model that describes the schemas and rules that govern the structure and content of the model’s documents. The SML-IF specification defines two kinds of definition documents - XML Schema documents that conform to SML’s profile of XML Schema, and rule documents that conform to SML’s profile of Schematron.

Query API The query API provides a web service interface to the data store(s). Its binding will be constructed in a manner analogous to the Data Collection adapters where extensions can be created to implement any desired query mechanism without requiring dependence on the type or location of the underlying data store.

SML Service Modeling Language
SML-IF SML-Interchange Format. This is a way to aggregate and share SML definitions and instances, identifying the aggregation and defining document aliases and rule bindings. See also the SML Spec
SML-IF instance validation The process of validating the content of an SML-IF resource, including SML instance documents contained by the SML-IF resource, applying any Schematron rules defined as a definition document and bound to SML instances. See also the SML Spec
SML Repository APIs A set of APIs used to retrieve SML documents from a repository implementation. COSMOS provides a file-system based repository.
SML validation The action of validating SML documents. The SML specification extends both the XML Schema 1.0 and Schematron specifications.
