Re: Discussion thread for review BP introduction

Hi-

regarding Frans' point #3

- I think it would help to have explanations for things like WFS,
SDI, WMS.. .Perhaps add hyperlinks to wikipedia pages explaining those
concepts?

Would suggest that we include definitions pertinent to the best practice
within the BP doc itself (e.g. a glossary in an appendix); we can then use
some respec magic to refer to these definitions where ever we use those
terms.
