-Vocabulary for AFB-DAEMON
-=========================
-
-## Binding
-
-A shared library object intended to add a functionality to an afb-daemon
-instance. It implements an API and may provide a service.
-
-Binding made for services can have specific entry point called after
-initialisation and before serving.
-
-## Event
-
-Message with data propagated from the services to the client and not expecting
-any reply.
-
-The current implementation allows to widely broadcast events to all clients.
-
-## Level of assurance (LOA)
-
-This level that can be from 0 to 3 represent the level of
-assurance that the services can expect from the session.
-
-The exact definition of the meaning of these levels and how to use it remains to
-be achieved.
-
-## Plugin
-
-Old name for binding, see binding.
-
-## Request
-
-A request is an invocation by a client to a binding method using a message
-transferred through some protocol: HTTP, WebSocket, DBUS... and served by
-***afb-daemon***
-
-## Reply/Response
-
-This is a message sent to client as the result of the request.
-
-## Service
-
-Service are made of bindings running by their side on their binder.
-It can serve many client. Each one attached to one session.
-
-The framework establishes connection between the services and
-the clients. Using DBus currently but other protocols are considered.
-
-## Session
-
-A session is meant to be the unique instance context of a client,
-which identify that instance across requests.
-
-Each session has an identifier. Session identifier generated by afb-daemon are
-UUIDs.
-
-Internally, afb-daemon offers a mechanism to attach data to sessions.
-When the session is closed or disappears, the data attached to that session
-are freed.
-
-## Token
-
-The token is an identifier that the client must give to be authenticated.
-
-At start, afb-daemon get an initial token. This initial token must be presented
-by incoming client to be authenticated.
-
-A token is valid only for a period.
-
-The token must be renewed periodically. When the token is renewed, afb-daemon
-sends the new token to the client.
-
-Tokens generated by afb-daemon are UUIDs.
-
-## UUID
-
-It stand for Universal Unique IDentifier.
-
-It is designed to create identifier in a way that avoid has much as possible
-conflicts. It means that if two different instances create an UUID, the
-probability that they create the same UUID is very low, near to zero.
-
-## x-afb-reqid
-
-Argument name that can be used with HTTP request. When this argument is given,
-it is automatically added to the "request" object of the answer.
-
-## x-afb-token
-
-Argument name meant to give the token without ambiguity.
-You can also use the name **token** but it may conflicts with others arguments.
-
-## x-afb-uuid
-
-Argument name for giving explicitly the session identifier without ambiguity.
-You can also use the name **uuid** but it may conflicts with others arguments.
