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.
Description
Traditionally, a glossary appears at the end of a book and includes terms within that book that are either newly introduced, uncommon, or specialized.
While glossaries are most commonly associated with non-fiction books, in some cases, fiction novels may come with a glossary for unfamiliar terms.
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.
Ontology
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.
Automation
Automatic methods have been also developed that transform a glossary into an ontology or a computational lexicon.
