Glossary of Abbreviations

Below are the details the abbreviations 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.
