Glossary

We use a number of terms across our repositories and in our communication. This glossary clearly defines those terms so there is no ambiguity.

Seedcase Project

Always in proper case. Use this to refer to the project as a whole, including underpinning ideas and philosophy.

Seedcase

Limit the bare use of Seedcase as a noun to cases where the project as a whole is referred to in very general terms (e.g. the idea of Seedcase initially formed…).

Use Seedcase as a qualifier to restrict the meaning of a noun to a project-specific context (e.g. Seedcase team, Seedcase users, Seedcase software).

Seedcase software

Use these to refer to the software deliverables of the project collectively. Choose best fit based on context. Note that, in general, these phrases don’t take the definite article (i.e. the Seedcase software).

Seedcase framework

Use this to refer to the software deliverables which work together to implement core project functionalities as a single conceptual unit.

Data Resource

Always in proper case. Use this to refer to the data layer of the framework and its contents.
