1.1 Glossary

This document uses the following terms:

account: A collection of data and settings for a SharePoint Workspace or Groove identity that represents a user. This includes shared spaces, messages, and preferences that are associated with a user's identity. An account can reside on one or more devices.

endpoint: A participant that uses the Microsoft Groove Dynamics Protocol, as described in [MS-GRVDYNM], to synchronize with a shared space. An endpoint is identified by the combination of an identity URL and a client device URL. Each endpoint maintains a copy of the data in a shared space.

engine: A component that creates and executes commands, and uses the Microsoft Groove Dynamics Protocol, as described in [MS-GRVDYNM], to transport and order those commands.

record definition: An XML-based definition of the schema for a type of record. It includes a list of permissible fields, the data type of each field, and optionally a default value for each field.

shared space: A set of tools that is synchronized between different endpoints, as described in [MS-GRVDYNM].

table: A list that is defined in a workbook.

Unicode: A character encoding standard developed by the Unicode Consortium that represents almost all of the written languages of the world. The Unicode standard [UNICODE5.0.0/2007] provides three forms (UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32) and seven schemes (UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-16 BE, UTF-16 LE, UTF-32, UTF-32 LE, and UTF-32 BE).

MAY, SHOULD, MUST, SHOULD NOT, MUST NOT: These terms (in all caps) are used as defined in [RFC2119]. All statements of optional behavior use either MAY, SHOULD, or SHOULD NOT.
