[DITA Term] Glossary topic [Plain Language Term] Glossary term and definition [Description] 
A topic that includes at least two things: a term and a definition for that term. A glossary topic may also include abbreviations, synonyms, and all the other pieces of information that support a dictionary or glossary term. Not every documentation set needs glossary terms.Some common ways to use glossary topics: 1. Create an appendix with all terms and definitions in an alphabetized list. 2. Provide inline popups over terms that need a definition (e.g., in a task, the word “Disambiguation” has a hover hyperlink to provides a definition when the user places their cursor over that word). 3. Provide a link from the inline term to the glossary definition.
