JDP 0-01.1: United Kingdom Supplement to the NATO Terminology Database

Until recently, NATO has maintained some 28 glossaries sponsored from across its 8 Tasking Authorities (TAs). Of these, JDP 0-01.1 was broadly aligned to Allied Administrative Publication (AAP)-6 NATO Glossary of Terms and Definitions and up to Edition 7, JDP 0-01.1 comprised a full replication of AAP-6 and its sister publication AAP-15 NATO Glossary of Abbreviations used in NATO Documents and Publications together with UK operational and related general Terms and Definitions (T&D) developed to meet national requirements (UK element being only some 10% of the publication).

The NATO Terminology Database (NTDB) will shortly be made available to all on the www and this has precipitated the necessity for the UK to migrate in a similar direction. As a first step, all NATO T&D has been removed in the 8th Edition leaving just the remaining national elements and, in keeping with the quantitive balance, the publication has been functionally re-titled; The United Kingdom Supplement to the NATO Terminology Database.

For a fuller understanding of the transition arrangements for future access to terminology, users are encouraged to read the Explanatory Notes and User Guide at the introductory pages of the publication.
