Domain Language

Use the package's own language consistently so code, docs, and review comments describe the same objects.

Preferred Terms

  • source means an upstream dataset family such as AADR or Neotoma
  • raw means fetched or copied upstream material before package normalization
  • normalized means tracked outputs reshaped into repository-friendly files
  • context means non-AADR layers that help interpret AADR locations
  • report bundle means a published directory under docs/report/<slug>/
  • atlas means the shared multi-country map bundle under docs/report/nordic-atlas/

Terms To Avoid

  • avoid calling the package a service when it is a file-producing runtime
  • avoid using database for tracked file trees unless a real database exists
  • avoid naming speculative research outcomes as if they are current outputs

Purpose

This page keeps boundary discussions precise by using stable package language.
