This page contains links to definitions for commonly-used terms in Ontogenesis.

Instructions for authors: If you do not have permission to edit this page, please add your glossary term as a comment and we’ll add it to the main page, deleting the comment once it has been merged with the main page. You may link to each individual glossary term if you like. The URL for “TERM” is http://ontogenesis.knowledgeblog.org/glossary#term. Specifically, all links are lowercase (“#owl” rather than “#OWL”), and any punctuation such as “+” has been removed (“#damloil” rather than “#daml+oil).
