Thanks for the heroic effort to define this @tedsuo! My comments are only "issues", but in general this a huge step for the community and I'm really glad to see it happen.

My comments are mostly things I think we should open issues for and resolve via separate discussions, but just wanted to check to see if others agree.

👍 Thanks! A couple of small clarifications, but this generally is excellent.

Did we discuss this renaming and make a decision on this? I am not against the change but it seems to me it is not a clear improvement over previous wording ("client" can be a confusing term).

Ah, no group decision here. I began using the term "OpenTelemetry client" because "language library" wasn't clear - we have many libraries in each language, and none of these libraries contain a language. "Client" is a more common term for the set of components we are referring too. Open to other options.

I haven't been able to elicit much comment on this one. There's some preference for "OpenTelemetry client" over "language library" as it is a more standard term 🤷‍♀️

How is "OpenTelemetry client" different from "OpenTelemetry SDK", which is what we generally use?

@yurishkuro OpenTelemetry client replaces "language library." It contains: API, SDK, SemConv, and Contrib.

LGTM

i put in minor suggestions for changes to fix grammar and make things more clear, but they are not blockers in my mind

Thank you everyone for all of the input. @open-telemetry/technical-committee can I get a merge? I believe this is complete for now.

Future work:

  • Data stability: we need to advance the work in metrics farther before we can define this.
  • Opentelemetry client vs language library: terminology bikeshed anyone may take up if they care.

@tedsuo Thanks! Will merge now as all comments are resolved and we have had enough approvals for some days now.

Would you mind the issues for anything that is still needed? If there's still no issue for that, that is (as we have at least one issue regarding telemetry data already, etc).
