Note: This section will be subject to ongoing development. New definitions will be added as they arise.

INTRODUCTION

1. The Business Definitions in this data dictionary are text based and should clearly and unambiguously describe terms that are used in various aspects of the LSC's business. The focus of these terms are those relating to data and where appropriate 'Derived Data'.

2. Where appropriate, Business Definitions include detailed Target information.
