List of Glossary Terms
This page is intended to compile a list of specialized terms that users of
TAPoR and Voyant may not be familiar with. These terms will eventually be moved over to a page on Hermeneuti.ca, defined and linked to supplemental resources to assist users of both toolsets.
To ensure maximum value to users, the glossary definitions should assume that the audience has no or limited familiarity with computers, text analysis, programming and web development elements.
Some terms are already defined in brief on the
