Hi John, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't use extracts from the BSS Glossary in your pop-up windows - thanks for the compliment! It might be reasonable to put a credit to the BSS and a link at one point in the screed (as an electronic equivalent to a footnote). I'm happy to leave it to you to decide the most convenient way to do this.
I'd be interested to see which terms you choose to link to. Some of the definitions are being updated in the next edition - hopefully not in a way that would contradict any use you might put them to.
