QA & \gls{Quality Assurance} \\\hline
QC & \gls{Quality Control} \\\hline
Quality Assurance & All activities, deliverables, services, documents, procedures or artifacts which are designed to ensure the quality of DM deliverables. This may include \gls{QC} systems, in so far as they are covered in the charge described in \gls{LDM}-622. Note that contrasts with the \gls{LDM}-522 definition of “QA” as “Quality Analysis”, a manual process which occurs only during commissioning and operations. See also: \gls{Quality Control}. \\\hline
Quality Control & Services and processes which are aimed at measuring and \gls{monitoring} a system to verify and characterize its performance (as in \gls{LDM}-522). \gls{Quality Control} systems run autonomously, only notifying people when an anomaly has been detected. See also \gls{Quality Assurance}. \\\hline
SRD & \gls{LSST} Science Requirements; \gls{LPM}-17 \\\hline
Science Collaboration & An autonomous body of scientists interested in a particular area of science enabled by the \gls{LSST} dataset, which through precursor studies, simulations, and \gls{algorithm} development lays the groundwork for the large-scale science projects the \gls{LSST} will enable.

Solar System \gls{Object} & A solar system object is an astrophysical object that is identified as part of the Solar System: planets and their satellites, asteroids, comets, etc. This class of object had historically been referred to within the \gls{LSST} Project as Moving Objects. \\\hline
Source & A single detection of an astrophysical object in an image, the characteristics for which are stored in the \gls{Source} Catalog of the \gls{DRP} database. The association of Sources that are non-moving lead to Objects; the association of moving Sources leads to Solar System Objects. (Note that in non-LSST usage "source" is often used for what \gls{LSST} calls an \gls{Object}.) \\\hline
Subsystem & A set of elements comprising a system within the larger \gls{LSST} system that is responsible for a key technical deliverable of the project. \\\hline
Subsystem Manager & responsible manager for an LSST subsystem; he or she exercises authority, within prescribed limits and under scrutiny of the Project Manager, over the relevant subsystem's cost, schedule, and work plans \\\hline
Systems Engineering & an interdisciplinary field of engineering that focuses on how to design and manage complex engineering systems over their life cycles. Issues such as requirements engineering, reliability, logistics, coordination of different teams, testing and evaluation, maintainability and many other disciplines necessary for successful system development, design, implementation, and ultimate decommission become more difficult when dealing with large or complex projects. Systems engineering deals with work-processes, optimization methods, and risk management tools in such projects. It overlaps technical and human-centered disciplines such as industrial engineering, control engineering, software engineering, organizational studies, and project management. Systems engineering ensures that all likely aspects of a project or system are considered, and integrated into a whole. \\\hline

algorithm & A computational implementation of a calculation or some method of processing. \\\hline
metadata & General term for data about data, e.g., attributes of astronomical objects (e.g. images, sources, astroObjects, etc.) that are characteristics of the objects themselves, and facilitate the organization, preservation, and query of data sets. (E.g., a \gls{FITS} header contains \gls{metadata}). \\\hline
patch & An quadrilateral sub-region of a sky \gls{tract}, with a size in pixels chosen to fit easily into memory on desktop computers. \\\hline
pipeline & A configured sequence of software tasks (Stages) to process data and generate data products. Example: \gls{Association Pipeline}. \\\hline
sky map & A sky tessellation for \gls{LSST}. The Stack includes software to define a geometric mapping from the representation of World Coordinates in input images to the \gls{LSST} \gls{sky map}. This tessellation is comprised of individual tracts which are, in turn, comprised of patches. \\\hline
stack & a grouping, usually in layers (hence \gls{stack}), of software packages and services to achieve a common goal. Often providing a higher level set of end user oriented services and tools \\\hline
