Terminology

This page documents terminology conventions used in documentation describing the website, with a special focus on disambiguation of technical terminology.

Book page

Publication vs. Bibliography

"Create bibliography" means "create bibliography node" or "create bibliography entry" or "create publication" --- it doesn't create a new list of publications, but adds a single new publication to this website's database.

Vocabulary, Taxonomy, Category

1. Terminology: "Taxonomy" and "Vocabulary" mean the same thing -- a collection of terms used for tagging nodes. Similarly, "Term", "Tag", and "Category" are synonyms, and "to tag" and "to categorize" mean the same action. Drupal sometimes uses these terms interchangeably, which could erroneously cause one to believe they refer to different features. In fact, they are all the same.

Comment on a page

Add a comment

This is the easiest method.

Even anonymous users can add comments.

The "add new comment" link applies to the block of text immediately above it. Since a node might display other nodes, you might see many of these links on a single page.

A content administrator can later move useful text out of a comment into the proper node.
