A glossary, also known as a vocabulary, or clavis, is an alphabetical list of terms in a particular domain of knowledge with the definitions for those terms. [wikipedia]
We often face misunderstandings in discussions about energy system modeling while talking about it from different points of view or different disciplines.This glossary has the aim to develop a common understanding of terms in the field of energy system modelling.
Suggestion openMod 2017: add a disambiguation section in case different wording for the same term is displayed.
Grouping of words can lead to further disambiguation. When a user clicks on a particular term, they would be provided with a list of other asscociated ones (i.e solar power, PV panels).
It's not necessarily that there is universal consensus over one particular term.However, the description displayed at the top is that one that the majority agrees on.
Every term that is used by the community can be added to the glossary. Similar terms can be linked in the category Synonyms.
