KOSH

Glossary

Translate One of the key aspects of a system is the ability to describe it. This is especially important in a community setting, when we are trying to take in a huge amount of information from a large set of many different viewpoints. To this end, we are moving towards the creation of a common projection and a common vocabulary, allowing everyone to be speaking the same language and using the same words to mean the same things.

A projection is a way of describing something using something that is already familiar. For KOSH we are using nautical and ecological terms. A vocabulary is the building block of a projection. The logical N description provides a description of the KOSH system through its projection. The glossary of terms is provided below, with cross links to the description, where applicable.
