And this is already something I have been kinda moving towards in my interactions with my customer-users over the past 2 years of remote working.

In terms of my actual interaction, I am currently using excel spreadsheets with 3 separate teams for 3 very different workflows. I also use the term "agreement" and "data dictionary" in these interactions.

Obviously, going forward, I'm using the term "data contracts"
