A glossary is a list of terms in a particular domain
of knowledge with the definitions for those terms.
Traditionally, a glossary appears at the end a book and includes
terms within that book which are either newly introduced or at
least uncommon.
A bilingual glossary is a list of terms in one
language which are defined in a second language or glossed by
synonyms (or at least near-synonyms) in another language.
In a more general sense, a glossary contains explanations of
concepts relevant to a certain field of study or action. In this
sense, the term is contemporaneously related to
ontology.

Core glossary
A core glossary is a simple glossary or
defining dictionary which enables definition of other
concepts, especially for newcomers to a language or field of
study. It contains a small working vocabulary and definitions
for important or frequently encountered concepts, usually
including idioms or metaphors useful in a culture.
In computer science, a core glossary is a prerequisite to a
core ontology. An example of this is seen in
SUMO.
