Glossary of Terms for Take on Rules
Below are the details the glossary entries used throughout Take on Rules. In some cases, I've linked to external pages that further define the concept.
For some terms, I include an identifier. This identifier is meant to be a Schema.org identifier property. The identifier's purpose is to disambiguate terms. For example, in my blog there are two references to RPG: Role-Playing Game and Report Program Generator. I have disambugated those terms using Wikidata.org.
