Re: yet another dictionary question
Under most circumstances, a glossary should not include common words found in a dictionary; so from that point of view your question is moot. I have seen glossaries that, for example, credit some IEEE or ACM publication as a source for industry terminology and then collate in the idiosyncratic items that pertain only to the company or product or particular subdiscipline that is the subject of the publication.
All technical papers should have proper attributions when a portion is based upon some other published paper.
I wonder about the extent this practice is followed when creating a glossary.
