# vLEI glossary, the KERI Foundation's repository (Spec-Up-T)

A KERI Foundation repository holding a Spec-Up-T glossary of 26 vLEI terms (the roles QVI (qualified vLEI issuer), QAR (qualified vLEI issuer authorized representative), GAR (legal entity authorized representative), DAR (designated authorized representative), OOR (official organizational role) and ECR (engagement context role), the credential governance frameworks, the issuer qualification terms), each pointing to the extended KERI glossary; its generated site still carries the Spec-Up-T starter pack's title and demo text. For readers who want the Foundation's own copy of the vLEI vocabulary; Henk van Cann's vlei-glossary repository (115 terms, author GLEIF.org in its configuration) is the fuller one.

Labels: reading level Practitioner; evidence informative (an author's paper, deck, tutorial or post explaining the suite).
