A glossary is an alphabetical 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 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 SUMO.

Searching glossaries on the web

The 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. A research work on automated glossary extraction has been recently published.

Are the definitions from a textbook glossary (consisting of common terms) protected by copyright laws?
Q. For some definitions it is hard to really say it any other way then what is found in someones glossary. I do realize a dictionary would be protected (as a unique collection), but not sure how far that pertains to a glossary of terms at the back of a book.

A. A glossary certainly can have copyrightable aspects including, among other things, the definitions as well as the organization of the glossary. That said, copyright does NOT protect works consisting entirely of information that is common property and containing no original authorship (e.g., standard calendars, height and weight charts, tape measures and rulers, and lists or tables taken from public documents or other common sources). Without seeing the glossary, it's impossible to say how much of it is copyrightable. Copyright analysis is a fact specific inquiry. You might consider contacting a copyright attorney if this issue is important to you.
