[Peter] Not entirely true. Firstly, software code is often considered to be
out-of-scope for many libraries, as would be photos on Flickr or Facebook
posts. Secondly, if you use the FRBR model, it is entirely possible to
manage code, e.g.
Work: Microsoft Word (the software product)
Expression: Word 2010 (a particular release)
Manifestation: 14.0.5128.5000 (a specific released version and update)
Item: 02337-383-0045642-38028 (the specific copy installed on my computer) (03)

[Peter] If you think of software code as a document, then of course it will
fail your test. There are plenty of professional systems for checking-in,
managing, and consolidating software builds that perfectly satisfy
professionals' goals around the globe. I don't see your point. (05)

[Peter] A glossary is often defined as a non-normative appendix to a
normative deliverable. Maybe you are confusing 'glossary' with 'terminology'
or a 'vocabulary' (the latter two terms defined in ISO 1087) ?
