From Web Services Glossary (2004-02-11) | Glossary for this source

2. Web Services Choreography concerns the interactions of services with their users. Any user of a Web service, automated or otherwise, is a client of that service. These users may, in turn, be other Web Services, applications or human beings. Transactions among Web Services and their clients must clearly be well defined at the time of their execution, and may consist of multiple separate interactions whose composition constitutes a complete transaction.

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A circularity exists if it is impossible to do this for all global variable definitions.
