A '''glossary''' is a list of terms in a particular domain of knowledge with the definitions for those terms. Traditionally, a glossary appears at the end of a book and includes terms within that book which are either newly introduced or at least uncommon.
A '''bilingual glossary''' is a list of terms in one language which are defined in a second language or glossed by synonyms (or at least near-synonyms) in another language.
In a more general sense, a glossary contains explanations of concepts relevant to a certain field of study or action. In this sense, the term is contemporaneously related to [[ontology]].
==Core glossary==
A '''core glossary''' is a simple glossary or [[defining dictionary]] which enables definition of other concepts, especially for newcomers to a language or field of study. It contains a small working vocabulary and definitions for important or frequently encountered concepts, usually including idioms or metaphors useful in a culture.
In computer science, a core glossary is a prerequisite to a [[core ontology]]. An example of this is seen in [[classes (SUMO)|SUMO]].
==Searching glossaries on the web==
The [[Web search engine|search engine]] [[Google (search engine)|Google]] provides a service to only search web pages belonging to a glossary therefore providing access to a kind of compound glossary of glossary entries found on the web.<ref>[http://www.googleguide.com/glossary.html www.googleguide.com]</ref>
