Glossary methodology

release@1.0.0 · glossary@1.0.0

Source hierarchy

Authoritative public standards, public primary research, and official documentation take precedence. Supplementary sources add context but do not replace the source needed for a claim.

Proof and verification

Each atomic claim is paired with a source role, exact locator, verification date, review date, and its own scope limitation. Independent review checks whether the cited material supports that claim; it does not turn a source into a guarantee.

Rejection rules

A term or claim is withheld when its public fields, locators, provenance, or supporting evidence are incomplete, ambiguous, or outside the stated scope.

Hashing and versioning

The site imports a public release only after its release version, glossary version, and SHA-256 digest match the accepted manifest. The runtime does not read the source workspace.

Freshness and corrections

Review dates are calculated from public citations. Entries remain visible with a localized warning when review is due. To report a correction, use the site contact page and include the term, claimed issue, and a public source or locator.
