The definition of Information Consumer is: A person or organization that consumes disseminated data.

The definition of Information Provider is: An Individual or Organization that provides collected information.

Does good practice say that we can in certain situations or should not refer to other GSIM terms in our definitions?

 

For consistency we should either have

The definition of Information Consumer should be: An Individual or Organization that consumes disseminated data.

The definition of Information Provider is: An Individual or Organization that provides collected information.

or

The definition of Information Consumer is: A person or organization that consumes disseminated data.

The definition of Information Provider should be: A person or organization that provides collected information.

    Meeting 17 October: the issue is about inconsistency how “Information Consumer” and “Information Provider” were defined (“person” for the former, “individual” for the latter). The Team agreed to use GSIM term “individual” instead of “person”.
