There is no relationship. They are independent efforts, though both are 
from Sun people. However, it's sad that gnome-i18n/glossary is a dead 
project; it was intended to be used by Sun, but right now this is not 
the case, and the glossary becomes unmaintained. The creator of that 
glossary is recommending people to use the terminology in documentation 
style guide instead, until the idea of translation glossary is revived.
