Glossary

All Music Guide:

Formed in 1997 in Murfreesboro, TN, Glossary melded its disparate influences -- Modest Mouse, Sonic Youth, Pavement, Neil Young, and '80s country music -- into a guitar-driven form of American rock & roll. Frontman Joey Kneiser, bassist Bingham Barnes, keyboardist Maggie Gresham, and guitarists Jason Manley and Gregory Jacks comprised the band's first lineup, which made its debut in 1998 by releasing Southern by the Grace of Location through the band's own Champ Records label. A second album, All We've Learned About Living, followed two years later.

Glossary's lineup fluctuated during the early 2000s, with Joey Kneiser always remaining at the forefront. The band's sound proved to be consistent, however, and Glossary issued a series of albums (including the regional favorite How We Handle Our Midnights) that merged Southern twang with plenty of guitar muscle. Feral Fire appeared in 2010, featuring another revised lineup -- Kneiser and Barnes were the only remnants of the band's original incarnation -- and another batch of alt.country rock songs.

Wikipedia:

A glossary, also known as an idioticon, vocabulary, or clavis, is an alphabetical list of terms in a particular domain of knowledge with the definitions for those terms. Traditionally, a glossary appears at the end of a book and includes terms within that book that are either newly introduced, uncommon, or specialized.

A bilingual glossary is a list of terms in one language defined in a second language or glossed by synonyms (or at least near-synonyms) in another language.

In a general sense, a glossary contains explanations of concepts relevant to a certain field of study or action. In this sense, the term is related to the notion of ontology. Automatic methods have been also provided that transform a glossary into an ontology or a computational lexicon.

Core glossary

A core glossary is a simple glossary or defining dictionary that 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.

Searching glossaries on the web

The search engine Google provided a service to only search web pages belonging to a glossary therefore providing access to a kind of compound glossary of glossary entries found on the web.

Automatic extraction of glossaries

Computational approaches to the automated extraction of glossaries from corpora or the Web have been developed in the recent years. These methods typically start from domain terminology and extract one or more glosses for each term of interest. Glosses can then be analyzed to extract hypernyms of the defined term and other lexical and semantic relations.
