# Glossary
Guidelines:
- Include terms specific to the OpenBMC project, OpenBMC reference
platforms (like OpenPower or ASpeed), BMCs, or platform management.
- Include terms needed to disambiguate. For example, "image" may refer to
a visual (e.g., JPEG) image or a firmware (e.g. UBIFS) image.
- Treat acronyms the same as terms.
BMC - Baseboard management controller. A device designed to enable
remote out of band management access to a host, generally a computer
system.
D-Bus - Provides the primary mechanisms for inter-process
communication with an OpenBMC system. OpenBMC D-Bus APIs are
documented in `https://github.com/openbmc/phosphor-dbus-interfaces`.
For example, see the tree under `/xyz/openbmc_project/Led`.
IPMI - Intelligent Platform Management Interface. OpenBMC implements
a subset of the IPMI spec.
ODM - Original design manufacturer. In OpenBMC, ODM generally refers
to the manufacturer of the host system.
OEM - Original equipment manufacturer. In OpenBMC, OEM generally
refers to the manufacturer of the host system.
Phosphor - Informally designates OpenBMC software or APIs designed for
use across many systems, as distinct from platform or vendor-specific
elements.
Redfish - The Distributed Management Task Force (DTMF) Redfish
specification. OpenBMC provides Redfish REST APIs for platform
management.
REST - Representational State Transfer. OpenBMC provides REST APIs.
SDR - IPMI Sensor Data Record.
SEL - IMPI System Event Log. The BMC stores SEL events.
Server - A computing device, generally the one served by the BMC.
