Glossary

Revision as of 05:38, 5 May 2003 by 142.177.92.182 (talk) (everything required to understand money I think)

The Consumerium glossary is those terms which must be understood or broadened or narrowed in the Wiktionary to enable Consumerium's mission. In general this requires three types of terminology shift:

  • adding terms that the general public does not yet know, e.g. ecoregion
  • narrowing terms that are usually understood too locally, e.g. "safe"
  • broadening terms that have many different ways to define, e.g. "fair"

In addition it might be necessary to simply fix definitions of terms that are wrong, e.g. "done" or "person", most people simply do not understand that legal and moral definitions of these can vary widely and drastically.

The preliminary list of terms to ensure are defined correctly and compatibly in all languages, without all of which Consumerium makes no sense or can't work:

First discussion of these was in Talk:urban ecology - discuss in Talk:glossary from now on.
