See diagram #1 below.

• Rieks said this is just a first draft that he has put together.
• The green area is where we curate the CTWG terms wiki; the gray area is for curation of the ToIP terms wiki.
• A terms wiki has a 1:1 relationship with a scope.
• A concept is an intangible entity in the mind of a person and often represented by a unique number.
• A definition is a human-readable description of a concept.
• A concept and a definition have a 1:1 relationship.
• A concept and a definition must be in the same scope, but they can be part of multiple scopes.
• A term from another scope can refer to a definition and concept in another scope.
• A terms community and a scope are identified with a tag.
• A scope may include another scope. 
• A terms community can include another terms community.
• Each scope has one terminology (set of terms).
• Each terminology has one glossary, which is a publication of a glossary.
• A terms community consists of all the parties who share a set of objectives.
• Daniel Hardman  suggestions:
  • A terms community should have more than one tag.
  • But a tag can identify a terminology as well.
  • A tag is a flexible way to group terms that may not be the same as a terms community.
  • An example is a sci-fi terminology that includes tags for hard science and soft science and Star Wars.
• ACTION: Rieks will make updates to his mental model diagram.

See Rieks' draft proposal.

• It states the prime objective of a terminology for a terms community.
• It differentiates between a terminology of a ecosystem vs. a terminology for a terms community.
• It includes proposed definitions of the objectives for the ToIP ecosystem and the ToIP terms community.
• It also proposes an ingestion and a curation process for the ToIP Core terms wiki.
• The curation process is where we figure out what terms do and do not go into the corpus.
• Scott Perry brought up the issue of whether usage of a terms wiki and the CTWG corpus should be mandatory.
