I think the real answer is .. it depends.

There’s really no way to know what someone means when they use that term. Just the term “CMS” can mean so many different things to different people. To me, a “headless CMS” is just a CMS without a UI, thus you’d use an API to drive it. But the purpose and functionality of that thing is totally up for grabs.

If someone referred to one of these things, I’d ask them to tell me about the features and a use case.

As I found out the videos of the 2nd #Base4NFDI roadshow are now online. If you are interested in #ontology or #terminology integration to web services you could have a look into our demo presentation about the #Terminology Service Suite (TSS). We integrated there two widgets of the TSS to a data repository and created in this way a #semantic search engine and #FAIRdata

How do scientists make sense of complex #ResearchData? 🔬

Scientists in low-temperature #PlasmaPhysics, supported by @nfdi4bioimage are developing a domain-specific #ontology and #terminology service to standardize their (meta)data and establish a common technical language. This not only improves data discoverability but also enables the integration and analysis of heterogeneous datasets.

(Applied?) maths terminology question:

In the context of signal analysis (doing things like Fourier transforms) you might have some variable (say, t) that you're treating as being equivalent to time and you're interested in some periodic function of t (say, sin(t)) with wavelength 2pi on the t scale.

It's common to (informally?) use the term "phase" to refer to the value of t within the first cycle of the periodic function. In that usage: phase = t modulo 2pi

By extension, I have seen people refer to location anywhere on t (not just the first cycle) as "phase", but this seems to me to be ambiguous, and not necessarily helpful, terminology.

My question is: Given that the variable t is possibly something much more abstract and not necessarily "time", is there some accepted terminology for referring to the variable t in this context?

(This is possibly a non-issue for pure mathematicians because they might never talk about phase and use only symbolic representations without using descriptive words. If so, I would be seeking terminology from some applied discipline where this kind of generic descriptive labelling is used.)

In brief, if I wanted to say:
phase = x modulo 2pi
because I am talking about periodic functions of x, is there some generic descriptive term for variables like x (e.g. time-like)?

If you want to look up terms, there are dozens if not hundreds of tech glossaries. However, a search quickly shows differences in how comprehensive and therefore useful these glossaries are—and doesn’t show whether the glossaries are being updated. A view at the glossary landscape.

On my way to #Berlin . Tomorrow the 1st User Conference 4 Base (#UC4B) will start at the #Fraunhofer #FOKUS . I'm very exciting to meet interested users and members of the different basic services.

I will represent @renat_shigapov with a poster about the @BERD_NFDI #Terminology Service.

In addition, I will also share insight about #TS4NFDI in a talk. The material for the poster and the talk will be published later via Zenodo. I will also share the DOIs here as well.
