 Just push your changes to the `master` branch and they will be automatically deployed at https://essif-lab.pages.grnet.gr/framework/
+
+## Terminology/Glossary plugin usage
+
+This project has a plugin integrated that can generate terms in a useful way so contributors can write a special syntax to reference terms and generate a glossary based on those terms.
+
+This plugin is designed to work in the pre-build stage. This means, it is strongly suggested that you do **not** run manually
+the script in your local computer (or at least do not commit changes). In order to view the final result, you can instead use
+Docker and/or Docker Compose, as follows.
+
+#### Docker
+
+You can run the following commands to see the output of the website, just as it will look like when deployed to a production environment:
+
+```
+docker build -t essif-lab-terminology:latest .
+docker run -ti -p 5000:5000 essif-lab-terminology:latest
+```
+
+You can then visit http://localhost:5000 to view the website
+
+To stop docker from running, you can just hit `ctrl+c` in the terminal window.
+
+#### Docker Compose
+
+Docker Compose is a wrapper of docker, so you can run less commands to do the same job as you would do with docker commands. You only need to run:
+
+```
+docker-compose up --force-recreate --build
+```
+
+and then visit http://localhost:5000 to view the website.
+
+To stop docker-compose, just like docker, hit `ctrl+c` in the terminal window.
+
+## Terminology/Glossary plugin explanation
+
+### How it works
+
+This plugin parses docs in two ways:
+
+  1. Parses all `*.mdx` files under `docs/` and replaces each pattern with an
+  appropriate React component supporting a tooltip functionality (see below)
+  2. Generates a glossary with all terms corresponding to the `*.md` files under `docs/terms/`.
+
+Parses all markdown files and generates a glossary page with all the pattern terms found in the .md files
+
+### Replace patterns with dynamical elements
+
+When writing docs, in order to refer to a term, you may use the following syntax:
+
+```
+%%term_text|term_name%%
+```
+
+where:
+- `term_text`: The terminology text you want it to be visible in the documentation
+page
+- `term_name`: The filename of the term file, which resides under `./docs/terms` directory.
+
+inside `docs/*.mdx` files. After successfully running the script, the above occurrence
+will be replaced by a React component, which will render `term_text` as a link to the
+corresponding term page, which is in turn generated from the `term_name` attribute;
+furthermore, *hovering* over `term_text` displays a term summary, as extracted from the
+corresponding term page.
+
+### Example usage
+
+Say you want to reference a term that exists under the `./docs/terms/` directory,
+e.g. `./docs/terms/party.md`. You can use the following syntax to reference
+this term in your documentation page:
+
+```
+Some content that wants to reference the %%Party|party%% term
+```
+
+When the script runs, this will be replaced as follows:
+
+```
+Some content that wants to reference the <Term reference="party" popup="Popup text">Party</Term> term
+```
+
+which supports the functionality explained above.
+
+### How to correctly write a term
+
+This plugin assumes that you follow the structure, as explained below:
+
+Each term should have its own `.md` file, inside the `./docs/terms` directory,
+and it needs to consist of the following structure:
+
+```title="./docs/terms/term.md"
+---
+id: term
+title: Term page
+hoverText: This hover text will appear in the documentation page that you reference this term
+---
+
+### Term explanation
+
+content here
+```
+
+> Pay attention to the `hoverText` attribute, as it's important to provide this
+>attribute (along with the default docusaurus attributes), so the plugin can
+>fetch the correct popup text to show when referencing a term.
+
+### Running the script
+
+When you are finished referencing terms and have written corresponding term pages,
+you can test this locally by running the following command:
+
+```.shell script
+$ yarn parse
+yarn run v1.22.5
+ docusaurus parse
+Replacing patterns with <Term />
+Done in 1.41s.
+```
+
+This will replace all `%%term_text|term_name%%` occurrences with the React component
+supporting the required functionality.
+
+### Generate the glossary page
+
+If everything works well with the above procedure, you can then generate a
+glossary page, by running the following command:
+
+```.shell script
+$ yarn glossary
+yarn run v1.22.5
+ docusaurus glossary
+Alphabetical list of terms
+Done in 1.53s.
+```
+
+This will generate a file in `./docs/glossary.md` where every term that has been
+mentioned above, will be populated in the `glossary.md` page.

+title: eSSIF-Lab Vision and Purpose
+---
+
+The eSSIF-Lab vision is that Self-sovereign Identity (SSI) will *empower European and other citizens* by providing new means to manage privacy by eliminating logins and making electronic transactions fast and safe both in the Internet and in physical life. SSI will *empower European organisations and governments* by providing new means to speed up, secure and automate transactions with citizens, customers, suppliers and partners, resulting in tens of billions of euros savings annually on administrative costs in Europe. SSI will be *a new business ecosystem paradigm* with thousands of new jobs, many new job categories and new business opportunities for existing and new European companies. And last, but certainly not least, SSI fosters *inclusiveness* and supports organizations and citizens to exercise their rights and fulfil their duties under the GDPR.
+
+The current situation is that SSI solutions that are being created and brought to the market either target specific applications for which they provide a vertical solution (‘stovepipes’), many need some kind of centralized governance/control, others have privacy issues, and none that we know of are interoperable with other such solutions.
+
+The situation we would like to see is one in which we have SSI-enabled, interoperable and scalable technologies, that form an infrastructure that every application in any vertical can use in a very easy manner, for the exchange of verified (personal and non-personal) data. In that situation people, businesses and governments think more about the information they need and/or provide as they conduct business transactions. They no longer need to be concerned about the SSI technologies that have empowered them to make this happen.
+
+:::tip **The purpose of the eSSIF-Lab...**
+... is to specify, develop and validate technological and non-technological means that support people, businesses and governments to think about, design and operate their (information) processes and (electronically) conduct business transactions with one another.
+:::
+
+The context of the eSSIF-Lab vision can be found in articles 8-10 of the [*European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)*](https://www.echr.coe.int/Pages/home.aspx?p=basictexts/convention), that state the rights of individuals regarding their privacy, and their freedoms to collect, process, store, and express information in a self-sovereign fashion, i.e. in a way that they can decide for themselves. This is without prejudice to Member States’ laws that exist to protect their national security, public safety, the economic well-being of the country, health or morals or the rights and freedoms of others, or to prevent disorder or crime. The eSSIF-Lab vision extends these rights and freedoms - within the limits of the law - to public and private organizations. Thus, we say that individuals as well as public and private organizations (that we collectively refer to as ‘parties’) are self-sovereign<sup>[1]</sup>.
+
+In the context of these rights and freedoms, we seek to support electronic business transactions, i.e. the electronic exchange of goods, services, funds, or data between parties, which we call ‘participants’ to the transaction<sup>[2]</sup>.
+
+An electronic business transaction is a business transaction that requires each participant to have (at least one) electronic agent, i.e. equipment (e.g. an app on a mobile phone, a webserver, a browser, …) that acts on behalf of its owner in the transaction.
+
+An electronic business transaction is a business transaction that requires each participant to have (at least one) electronic agent, i.e. equipment (e.g. an app on a mobile phone, a web server, a browser, …) that acts on behalf of its owner in the transaction.
+
+
+## High-Level Example of a Business Transaction
+
+In its simplest form, this may be envisaged as one party (requestor) that requests another party (provider) to provide some product, e.g. a parking permit, by using his web-browser to navigate to the web-server of the provider (e.g. his municipality) where he is prompted to fill in a form to provide the details of his request (such as name, address, plate number, etc.). When the form is submitted, the provider decides whether or not to service the request (provide the parking permit) based on the data in the form, and take actions accordingly.
+
+In order for this to work, the provider must design the form such that when a requestor submits a completed form, it can actually decide whether or not to service the request. This has two parts: first, the provider must specify the argument (i.e. the way of reasoning) that it uses to reach this decision - i.e. provide the parking permit. Doing so implicitly specifies the kinds of data that the form will ask for. Secondly, the provider must decide for each of the data it receives, whether or not it is valid to be used in that argument - the process of deciding this is called ‘validation’. Common criteria that help to make this distinction include whether or not the data is presented in the expected format, whether or not it is true (not so easy), whether it is not outdated, or whether or not it satisfies validation rules (in the example, the municipality may require that the specified license plate belongs to a car owned by the person that requests the permit). Validation is important, because reasoning with invalid data may result in wrong conclusions and cause damage.
+
+Perhaps the most important contribution that the eSSIF-Lab project aims to make, is to create a ubiquitously used infrastructure for designing, filling in, and validating forms (not just web-forms, but also for ‘forms’ - e.g. JSON objects - in API requests). The benefits this will bring are enormous, but outside the scope of this document to list.
+
+The figure below is a high-level visualization of the filling in and validation parts:
+
+![eSSIF-Lab - vision context](https://essif-lab.pages.grnet.gr/framework//images/vision-context.png) *Figure 1. High-level visualization of the filling in and validation of a form.*
+ 
+The transaction that is envisaged here is the issuing of a parking permit. Participants are a person (requestor) that requests such a permit, and an organization (provider) that can issue such a permit. The requestor has one electronic agent, *the Requestor Agent (RA)*, i.e. an SSI-aware app on their mobile phone that can access a secure storage that contains ‘credentials’, i.e. data that is digitally signed by some third party, thus attesting to the truth of that data. The provider has two agents: one is an SSI-aware component *Provider Agent (PA_* that works with the web-server that presents the form, and the other is a person *P* whose task is to validate any data (on behalf of the provider) that is not validated electronically. The form itself contains a means, e.g. a QR-code or a deep-link, that allows *RA* and *PA* to set up a secure communications channel (e.g. SSL, [DIDComm](https://openssi.github.io/peer-did-method-spec/)) and agree on the specific form that needs to be filled in.
+
+After the *RA* and *PA* have established a communications channel and agree on the form to be filled in, *PA* informs *RA* about the information it needs to fill in the form, and the requirements that this information should satisfy<sup>[3]</sup>. *RA* then checks its data store to see whether or not such data is available, sends such data to *PA*, which subsequently validates it and uses it to fill in (appropriate parts of) the form. Finally, *P* validates the remaining data, which either results in a ‘clean’ form, i.e. a form that contains valid data that can subsequently be used to decide whether or not to provide the parking permit, or a message to the requester informing him about missing and/or invalid data.
+
+When the transaction has been completed, both participants can issue a credential that attests to the results of the transaction. For example, the provider could issue a credential stating that the requestor has obtained a parking permit for a car with a specific plate number (and other attributes). The requestor can store this credential and from that moment on use it in new electronic transactions.
+
+--------
+
+[1] We realize that by doing this we have a different definition of what self-sovereignty entails than many others. We are open to suggestions for a better phrase.
+
+[2] A good mental model for describing and designing transactions and their participants is provided by [*DEMO*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_%26_Engineering_Methodology_for_Organizations).
+
+[3] Since transactions are symmetric, the requestor could also have a form that the provider needs to fill in so as to provide the requestor with the data it needs to commit to that transaction. We have left that out of this description for the sake of simplicity.

+---
+
+The European Self-Sovereign Identity Lab ([eSSIF-Lab](https://essif-lab.eu/)) views itself as an ecosystem of parties 
+that work together to make existing (and new) Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) technology into 
+a scalable and interoperable infrastructure that businesses can use very easily
+for conducting (business) transactions with other businesses and individuals alike.
+Typically, the libraries, code or components for the infrastructure should be open source.
+
+In order to support the use of such an infrastructure by businesses and individuals,
+eSSIF-Lab parties also create applications and other tooling to support such actual use
+on top of the interoperable infrastructure, which may or may not be open source,
+and are expected to be used as/in products of organizations that want to make this their business.
+
+At the start, eSSIF-Lab is one of the European [NGI projects](https://www.ngi.eu/ngi-projects/)
+and helps (EU) parties that want to contribute by publishing [open calls](https://essif-lab.eu/?page_id=134) 
+to which such parties can submit work proposals that eSSIF-Lab will then consider for funding.
+
+## eSSIF-Lab Framework Repository
+
+This repo contains the documents that describe the vision, architecture and other
+topics that are relevant to the eSSIF-Lab Framework. Currently, it contains:
+
+- [Vision and purpose](vision-and-purpose)
+- [Functional architecture](functional-architecture)
+- [SSI standards](ssi-standards)

doc-sources/notations-and-conventions.md

+id: notations-and-conventions
+title: Notations and Conventions Used in this Documentation
+---
+
+Here, we provide an overview of the notations and conventions being used within eSSIF-Lab.
+
+
+## RFC 2119
+We shall use keywords such as “shall”, “should”, “may” etc. as defined by [RFC 2119](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt).
+
+## Capitalization of words in mid-sentence
+Also, we capitalize words in mid-sentence whenever it is used in the meaning as provided by a corresponding Definition. This allows us to also use the more colloquial meanings of words (by not capitalizing them). We appreciate any feedback regarding our (im)proper use of this kind of capitalization of words.
+
+We are working towards deprecating this convention, as we now have better ways to refer to %%definitions|definition%%.
+
+## Pattern diagram notations
+
+%%Pattern|pattern%% diagrams will be visualized in this document using a UML-like notation, as follows:
+
+- a **rectangle** represents a (named) concept. Concepts serve as entity-classes. Their (operational) extensions, i.e. the respective sets of (runtime) instances, are disjunct. 
+- a **solid line with a closed arrowhead** represent a (named) relation/association between the two concepts it connects. The concept at the arrowhead is called the ‘target concept’ (TGT) for that relation. The concept at the other end is called the ‘source concept’ (SRC) for that relation. Names are chosen such that `<SRC> <relation name> <TGT>` is a phrase that suggests the intension(al definition) of that relation.
+- a **dashed line** signifies that its intension is created by combination the intensions of other relations (it is a ‘shorthand’ for a path of other relations).
+- an **open-ended arrow** is an ‘ISA’ relation, which can be read as `<SRC> ISA <TGT>`. It means that SRC is a specialization of TGT (which is a generalization of SRC). Thus, SRC must satisfy all constraints that TGT must satisfy, and has all attributes (including properties) that TGT has.
+- **Multiplicities** use the [n..m] notation. When a multiplicity is omitted, [0..n] is intended.
+- A **concept that is coloured red(dish)** represents a notion that is commonly used ‘in the wild’ (and hence needs not be defined here), relates to one or more concepts we need for the pattern, yet is not the same. We include such ‘red concepts’ to help readers identify and subsequently bridge gaps between commonly held thoughts and the (sometimes subtly) different meanings we need in our model.

doc-sources/ssi-standards.md

+---
+id: ssi-standards
+title: SSI Standards
+---
+
+The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of standards activities for self-sovereign identity (SSI) and their relevance to eSSIF-Lab.
+
+## 1.  Introduction
+
+Self-sovereign identity (SSI) is work in progress, which includes the work on standards for SSI. Such standards include frameworks, schemas, data models, protocols, APIs, open-source code and more. The present document provides an overview on those standards and work-in-progress. Most pieces of text have been directly copied from the referenced websites.
+
+## 2.  W3C CCG: Credentials Community Group
+
+The [W3C Credentials Community Group](https://www.w3.org/community/credentials/) explores the creation, storage, presentation, verification, and user control of credentials. It focuses on a verifiable credential (a set of claims) created by an issuer about a subject—a person, group, or thing—and seek solutions inclusive of approaches such as: self-sovereign identity; presentation of proofs by the bearer; data minimization; and centralized, federated, and decentralized registry and identity systems. Its tasks include drafting and incubating Internet specifications for further standardization and prototyping and testing reference implementations.
+
+W3C CCG has published a first version of [Verifiable Claims Data Model and Representations 1.0](https://www.w3.org/2017/05/vc-data-model/CGFR/2017-05-01/) in May 2017. That specification introduces verifiable claims as follows.
+
+A self-sovereign architecture for verifiable claims is one where the holder of a verifiable claim is in complete control of their identifier, where their verifiable claims are stored, and how they are used. There is currently no widely used self-sovereign, privacy-enhancing standard for expressing and transacting verifiable claims (aka: credentials, attestations) via the Web.  This specification describes a data model for a digital [identity profile](https://www.w3.org/2017/05/vc-data-model/CGFR/2017-05-01/#dfn-identity-profile) and a collection of digital [entity credentials](https://www.w3.org/2017/05/vc-data-model/CGFR/2017-05-01/#dfn-entity-credential) that assert verifiable [claims](https://www.w3.org/2017/05/vc-data-model/CGFR/2017-05-01/#dfn-claim) about that [identity profile](https://www.w3.org/2017/05/vc-data-model/CGFR/2017-05-01/#dfn-identity-profile). It also describes how to express that data model in JSON, JSON-LD, and WebIDL.
+
+## 3.  W3C DID: Decentralized Identifier
+
+The [W3C DID Working Group](https://www.w3.org/2019/did-wg/) standardizes the DID URI scheme, the data model and syntax of DID Documents, which contain information related to DIDs that enable the aforementioned initial use cases, and the requirements for DID Method specifications.
+
+W3C DID is working on [Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0](https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/). The June 2020 version of the working document introduces DIDs as follows.
+
+<a>Decentralized identifiers</a> (DIDs) are a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity. A <a>DID</a> identifies any subject (e.g., a person, organization, thing, data model, abstract entity, etc.) that the controller of the <a>DID</a> decides that it identifies. These new identifiers are designed to enable the controller of a <a>DID</a> to prove control over it and to be implemented independently of any centralized registry, identity provider, or certificate authority. <a>DID</a>s are URLs that associate a <a>DID subject</a> with a <a>DID document</a> allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject. Each <a>DID document</a> can express cryptographic material, verification methods, or <a>service endpoints</a>, which provide a set of mechanisms enabling a <a>DID controller</a> to prove control of the <a>DID</a>. <a>Service endpoints</a> enable trusted interactions associated with the <a>DID subject</a>. A <a>DID document</a> might contain semantics about the subject that it identifies. A <a>DID document</a> might contain the <a>DID
+subject</a> itself (e.g. a data model).
+
+## 4.  Hyperledger Indy: distributed ledger software
+
+[Hyperledger Indy](https://www.hyperledger.org/use/hyperledger-indy) provides tools, libraries, and reusable components for providing digital identities rooted on blockchains or other distributed ledgers so that they are interoperable across administrative domains, applications, and any other silo. Indy is interoperable with other blockchains or can be used standalone powering the decentralization of identity. The Indy repository can be found [here](https://wiki.hyperledger.org/display/indy/Hyperledger+Indy).
+
+## 5.  Hyperledger Aries: protocols for communication of VC and DID
+
+[Hyperledger Aries](https://www.hyperledger.org/use/aries) provides a shared, reusable, interoperable tool kit designed for initiatives and solutions focused on creating, transmitting and storing digital verifiable credentials (VCs). It is infrastructure for blockchain-rooted, peer-to-peer interactions. The project consumes the cryptographic support provided by Hyperledger Ursa, to provide secure secret management and decentralized key management functionality.
+
+Hyperledger Aries allows trusted online peer-to-peer interactions based on decentralized identities and verifiable credentials. Aries includes a protocol definition, tools, and reference implementations. The Aries protocol supports identities rooted in a variety of distributed ledgers or blockchains. This approach to identity is often called Self Sovereign Identity (SSI).
+
+Key components of an [Aries solution](https://github.com/hyperledger/aries) are:
+
+- [agents](https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-rfcs/blob/master/concepts/0004-agents/README.md),
+- [DID communications](https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-rfcs/blob/master/concepts/0005-didcomm/README.md),
+- [protocols](https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-rfcs/blob/master/concepts/0003-protocols/README.md),
+- and [key management](https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-rfcs/blob/master/concepts/0051-dkms/README.md).
+
+Moreover, Hyperledger Aries develops a set of Request for Comment (RFCs) that describe important topics standardize across the Aries ecosystem. There are 2 types of Aries RFCs:
+
+- RFCs that describe individual features (in the [features](https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-rfcs/blob/master/features) folder)
+- RFCs that explain concepts underpinning many features (in the [concepts](https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-rfcs/blob/master/concepts) folder)
+
+RFCs are for developers *building on* Aries. They don't provide guidance on how Aries components implement features internally; individual Aries repos have design docs for that. Each Aries RFC includes an "implementations" section and all RFCs with a status greater than Proposed should have at least one listed implementation.
+
+
+## 6.  Hyperledger Ursa: cryptographic library
+
+[Hyperledger Ursa](https://www.hyperledger.org/use/ursa) is a shared cryptographic library, it enables implementations to avoid duplicating other cryptographic work and hopefully increase security in the process. The library is an opt-in repository (for Hyperledger and non Hyperledger projects) to place and use crypto. Hyperledger Ursa consists of sub-projects, which are cohesive implementations of cryptographic code or interfaces to cryptographic code. The Ursa repository can be found [here](https://github.com/hyperledger/ursa).

+## 7.  DIF: Decentralized identity Foundation
+
+[Decentralized Identity Foundation](https://identity.foundation/) (DIF) is an engineering-driven organization focused on developing the foundational elements necessary to establish an open ecosystem for decentralized identity and ensure interop between all participants.
+
+DIF builds on W3C and Hyperledger work referenced above. Some of its work originates from Hyperledger Aries and has been moved to DIF for more effective management of IPR. DIF has among others the following working groups.
+
+* [Identifiers and Discovery](https://identity.foundation/working-groups/identifiers-discovery.html): A key piece of the decentralized identity equation is how people, organizations, and devices can be identified and located without centralized systems of identifiers (e.g. email addresses). DIF members are actively working on protocols and implementations that enable creation, resolution, and discovery of decentralized identifiers and names across decentralized systems, like blockchains and distributed ledgers.
+* [Storage and Compute](https://identity.foundation/working-groups/storage-compute.html): Secure, encrypted, privacy-preserving storage and computation of data is a critical component of decentralized identity systems. As with identifiers and names must be self-sovereign to the owning entity, a user's identity data must remain private, only accessible to the entities they allow. DIF members are actively developing specs and reference implementations for provider-agnostic, run-anywhere solutions that provides these features.
+* [Authentication](https://identity.foundation/working-groups/authentication.html): Designing and implementing DID-based authentication specs, standards, and libraries used in authenticating DIDs across a wide variety of exchanges and use cases.
+* [Claims and Credentials](https://identity.foundation/working-groups/claims-credentials.html): The ability to verify the claims and assertions of identities is key in establishing trust among entities on a decentralized system that lacks a centralized hierarchy. The DIF Foundation has recently begun work on defining the specs, protocols, and tools it can provide to the ecosystem to help ecosystem participants and their customers easily integrate DID-signed claims into their apps and services.
+* [DID Communication](https://identity.foundation/working-groups/did-comm.html): Produce one or more high-quality specs that embody a method (“DIDComm”) for secure, private and (where applicable) authenticated message-based communication, where trust is rooted in DIDs and depends on the messages themselves, not on the external properties of the transport(s) used. 
+* [Secure Data Storage](https://identity.foundation/working-groups/secure-data-storage.html): Create one or more specifications to establish a foundational layer for secure data storage (including personal data), specifically data models for storage and transport, syntax, data at rest protection, CRUD API, access control, synchronization, and at least a minimum viable HTTP-based interface compatible with W3C DIDs/VCs.
+
+## 7.  Sovrin: SSI blockchain
+
+The [Sovrin Foundation](https://sovrin.org/) is a private-sector, international non-profit that was established to govern the world's first self-sovereign identity (SSI) network. The Sovrin blockchain network is based on Hyperledger Indy. Sovrin is governed by the [Sovrin Governance Framework](https://sovrin.org/library/sovrin-governance-framework/), which is a set of official documents that include legal agreements between participants in Sovrin. The services of Sovrin are registrations on the Sovrin blockchain: DIDs and DID Documents, VC schemas (generic), VC definitions (issuer-specific) and VC revocations. From 2017-2020, Sovrin has been funded via donations (Sovrin Alliance) and sale of future SOV tokens. In 2020, Sovrin started a transition process, revising its financing and structure.
+
+## 8.  Trust-over-IP: full-stack governance
+
+The [Trust-over-IP foundation](https://trustoverip.org/) was founded mid 2020. It is defining a complete architecture for Internet-scale digital trust that combines both cryptographic trust at the machine layer and human trust at the business, legal, and social layers. It is has the following working group, as well as a few more that are still being started.
+
+* [Governance Stack](https://trustoverip.org/working-groups/governance-stack/): The scope of the Governance Stack Working Group is to define models and interoperability standards for governance frameworks that enable business, legal, and social trust between entities implementing the Trust over IP architecture stack as defined in [Hyperledger Aries RFC 0289](https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-rfcs/tree/master/concepts/0289-toip-stack) (or its successor as identified in the RFC document itself).
+* [Technical Stack](https://trustoverip.org/working-groups/technical-stack/): The scope of the Technical Stack Working Group is to define (directly or by reference) the technical standards, test suites, and interoperability certification standards for the Trust over IP architecture stack as defined in [Hyperledger Aries RFC 0289](https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-rfcs/tree/master/concepts/0289-toip-stack) (or its successor as identified in the RFC document itself).
+* [Utility Foundry](https://trustoverip.org/working-groups/utility-foundry/): The scope of the Utility Foundry Working Group is to facilitate a community of practice among governance authorities, implementers, operators, and service providers for Trust over IP Layer One utilities. The WG will provide process guidance for the establishment and monitoring of new ToIP Layer One utility projects, whether hosted at the Linux Foundation or external to it. Other WG activities will include creating template RFPs for service providers, maintaining a list of affiliated Foundry Service Providers, identifying areas of collaboration and alignment between associated and/or disparate Utilities, and where possible serving as a center of competence for the education and promotion of the role of ToIP Layer One utilities.
+* [Ecosystem Foundry](https://trustoverip.org/working-groups/ecosystem-foundry/): The scope of the Ecosystem Foundry Working Group is to facilitate a community of practice among governance authorities, implementers, operators, and service providers of Trust over IP Layer Four ecosystems. The WG will provide process guidance for the establishment and monitoring of new ToIP Layer Four ecosystem projects, whether hosted at the Linux Foundation or external to it. Other WG activities will include creating template RFPs for service providers, maintaining a list of affiliated Foundry Service Providers, identifying areas of collaboration and alignment between associated and/or disparate ecosystems, and where possible serving as a center of competence for the education and promotion of the role of ToIP Layer Four ecosystems.
+
+## 9.  Relevance to eSSIF-Lab
+
+The above-mentioned standards, open source and governance are relevant to eSSIF-Lab in multiple ways.
+
+* Using: Subgrantees of eSSIF-Lab will implement some of these standards, and fork existing open-source code.
+* Testing: Subgrantees of eSSIF-Lab will perform interoperability tests of their implementations against other within eSSIF-Lab and outside, likely including the European [EBSI-ESSIF](https://www.eesc.europa.eu/sites/default/files/files/1._panel_-_daniel_du_seuil.pdf), the American [DHS-SVIP](https://www.dhs.gov/science-and-technology/svip).
+* Contributing: Subgrantees of eSSIF-Lab will also be required to contribute to standards development where relevant.

+title: Terminology & Glossary plugin docs
+---
+import useBaseUrl from '@docusaurus/useBaseUrl';
+
+
+### How it works
+
+This plugin parses docs in two ways:
+
+  1. Parses all `*.mdx` files under `docs/` and replaces each pattern with an
+  appropriate React component supporting a tooltip functionality (see below)
+  2. Generates a glossary with all terms corresponding to the `*.md` files under `docs/terms/`.
+
+Parses all markdown files and generates a glossary page with all the pattern terms found in the .md files
+
+## Replace patterns with dynamical elements
+
+When writing docs, in order to refer to a term, you may use the following syntax:
+
+```
+%%term_text|term_name%%
+```
+
+where:
+- `term_text`: The terminology text you want it to be visible in the documentation
+page
+- `term_name`: The filename of the term file, which resides under `./docs/terms` directory.
+
+inside `docs/*.mdx` files. After successfully running the script, the above occurrence
+will be replaced by a React component, which will render `term_text` as a link to the
+corresponding term page, which is in turn generated from the `term_name` attribute;
+furthermore, *hovering* over `term_text` displays a term summary, as extracted from the
+corresponding term page.
+
+### Example usage
+
+Say you want to reference a term that exists under the `./docs/terms/` directory,
+e.g. `./docs/terms/party.md`. You can use the following syntax to reference
+this term in your documentation page:
+
+```
+Some content that wants to reference the %%Party|party%% term
+```
+
+When the script runs, this will be replaced as follows:
+
+```
+Some content that wants to reference the <Term reference="party" popup="Popup text">Party</Term> term
+```
+
+which supports the functionality explained above.
+
+### How to correctly write a term
+
+This plugin assumes that you follow the structure, as explained below:
+
+Each term should have its own `.md` file, inside the `./docs/terms` directory,
+and it needs to consist of the following structure:
+
+```title="./docs/terms/term.md"
+---
+id: term
+title: Term page
+stage: draft
+hoverText: This hover text will appear in the documentation page that you reference this term
+---
+
+### Term explanation
+
+content here
+```
+
+> Pay attention to the `hoverText` attribute, as it's important to provide this
+>attribute (along with the default docusaurus attributes), so the plugin can
+>fetch the correct popup text to show when referencing a term.
+
+### Running the script
+
+When you are finished referencing terms and have written corresponding term pages,
+you can test this locally by running the following command:
+
+```.shell script
+$ yarn parse
+yarn run v1.22.5
+ docusaurus parse
+Replacing patterns with <Term />
+Done in 1.41s.
+```
+
+This will replace all `%%term_text|term_name%%` occurrences with the React component
+supporting the required functionality.
+
+Here's an example where the terms have been replaced. When the project is up
+and running, you can visit the test example on the `/docs/replacement-test` page:
+
+<img alt="replacement-test" src={useBaseUrl('images/replacement-test.png')}/>
+
+
+## Generate the glossary page
+
+If everything works well with the above procedure, you can then generate a
+glossary page, by running the following command:
+
+```.shell script
+$ yarn glossary
+yarn run v1.22.5
+ docusaurus glossary
+Alphabetical list of terms
+Done in 1.53s.
+```
+
+This will generate a file in `./docs/glossary.md` where every term that has been
+mentioned above, will be populated in the `glossary.md` page.
+
+When the project is up and running, you can visit the glossary on the `/docs/essifLab-glossary` page:
+
+ <img alt="glossary-page" src={useBaseUrl('images/glossary-page.png')}/>
