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.
For some terms there are corresponding tags. Each term may have one and only one tag. A tag is a keyword or indicator of what the post is about. When a post is tagged with a term, it means that it's the subject of the page; and not just a mention.
