Terms are words or phrases that act as labels for formally defined concepts. "MRI" is a medical term; "Habeas corpus" is a legal term; and so on. Any time a group of experts invents, innovates or standardizes, they need a terminology as a tool for themselves, and a corresponding glossary (one of their work products) that helps them communicate about their work. Usually, the group will seek to use terms that have already defined in specifications, standards, dictionaries, or glossaries that already exist. However, they will also typically need to define an additional set terms specific to their group. Several TOIP working groups (WGs) and task forces (TFs) have already expressed this need.

This definition of a wiki is from the best known wiki in the world, Wikipedia:
A wiki (/ˈwɪki/ (
listen) WIK-ee) is a hypertext publication collaboratively edited and managed by its own audience directly using a web browser. A typical wiki contains multiple pages for the subjects or scope of the project and could be either open to the public or limited to use within an organization for maintaining its internal knowledge base.
The basic idea of a terminology wiki is simply a wiki in which a set of terms is being defined by a specific (project of a) community of interest or a community of practice (scope), for its own purposes. This terminology will typically be made available through a glossary for that community.
