Vocabulary

8 pages in this book.

Page	What it is for
Modeling vocabulary: entities, relations, enums, constants	Choose between entities, relations, enums, and constants to model the things, links, and fixed values of a domain.
Local and shared vocabulary	Decide whether a concept stays inside one package or moves to a shared dictionary, and see how internal rules still affect consumers.
Stable identity	Understand which edits keep a declaration’s identity, which change it, and how a rename reaches the packages that use it.
Vocabulary contracts: kinds, keys, and templates	Choose relation kinds, declare keys, and give relations readable sentence templates that consumers can rely on.
Languages: labels, forms, and editions	Give declarations labels in several languages, add grammatical forms and translations, and keep multilingual editions apart.
Bridges between vocabularies	Pick one of five ways to connect two vocabularies: edition alignment, a mapping package, the concept catalog, an alignment profile, or import mapping.
Vocabulary migrations	Find your kind of vocabulary change in the migration matrix, then follow the procedure that releases it without breaking consumers.
Audit surface: relations, functions, questions, lints	Find which rules produce or read a predicate and list structural problems in compiled packages, without running any rule.
