A dictionary of terms.

This ontology provides a formal living reference for the (rather informal) vocabular{y∣ies} used by Lady for her projects. The primary aim of this ontology is to promote consistency; i·e ensure that two projects do not use the same terms in different ways. However, this ontology is some·what opinionated, and there is no guarantee that it will agree with the interpretations of other people.

Many terms defined in this ontology were originally defined else·where. A small number of terms were created by Lady, for which this ontology serves as the authoritative definition. Despite being an “ontology”, the intention of this vocabulary is not to be normatively‐binding but rather to descriptively track usage (as Lady would have it).

Only terms intended for general interchange are recorded here. Some projects may make use of additional terms with implementation‐specific meanings.
