Please note that if there is more than one definition, it is very important to provide information on the context of the different terms and to explain to the user why it is not possible to identify only one definition.

Discussion

There are 7 definitions of baseline in the standards covered by the IEEE sevocab database. The included definition seems most appropriate for SEBoK use. See http://www.computer.org/sevocab for more detail.

The SEVOCAB entry provides 7 definitions followed by this note: A baseline should be changed only through formal configuration management procedures. Some baselines may be project deliverables while others provide the basis for further work. Baselines, plus approved changes from those baselines, constitute the current configuration identification.
