Feel free to ask for terms on the talk page, or to add more terms and improve the definitions.

A

abstract (અંગ્રેજી: abstract)
not in a specific natural language but abstracting from it; aiming to provide a notation for the meaning behind natural language texts, sentences, or phrases. The opposite of concrete.
AbstractText (અંગ્રેજી: AbstractText)
prototype implementation of the Wikifunctions idea.
abstract content (અંગ્રેજી: abstract content)
see content.
Abstract Wikipedia (અંગ્રેજી: Abstract Wikipedia)
preliminary name of all the Content that can be used by local Wikipedias to render an article in natural language; currently proposed to live in Wikidata next to the corresponding Item, but that will be discussed before Part P2 of the development project.
alias (અંગ્રેજી: alias)
an alternative label for an object, used foremost to find the object.
argument (અંગ્રેજી: argument)
an input given to a function call.
argument reference (અંગ્રેજી: argument reference)
a reference to one of the supplied arguments within a composition.
array (અંગ્રેજી: array)
Many programming languages have an "array" type. The counterparts in Wikifunctions are list and typed list. See also Benjamin array.
લેખ (અંગ્રેજી: article)
a page in the main namespace of Wikipedia, usually representing one entry in Wikipedia.

B

Benjamin array (અંગ્રેજી: Benjamin array)
a way to denote typed list proposed by Benjamin Degenhart, where a typed list is stored as a JSON list whose first element denotes the type. This is in contrast with the previous proposed schema, which uses LISP-style singly-linked lists, in which the type must be stored once in each node.
બુલિયન (અંગ્રેજી: boolean)
a value that can have 2 states, usually denoted true and false.
આંતર-સ્થાપિત, આંતરિક (અંગ્રેજી: built-in)
a native implementation of a function that is provided by the evaluator and that is not editable through the wiki interface.

C

call (અંગ્રેજી: call)
see function call. In English, the term invoke or invocation may also be used.
canonical, canonicalized, canonicalised (અંગ્રેજી: canonical, canonicalized, canonicalised)

car (અંગ્રેજી: car)
alternative name of head; see CAR and CDR in Wikipedia. See also cdr.
cdr (અંગ્રેજી: cdr)
alternative name for tail; see CAR and CDR in Wikipedia. See also car.
કૅરેક્ટર, અક્ષર (અંગ્રેજી: character)

constructor (અંગ્રેજી: constructor)
an abstract building block of content. A constructor aims to capture the meaning of a single phrase or sentence structure. It often has slots that can take other constructors, and can itself be used as a value to fill the slots of other constructors.
content, abstract content (અંગ્રેજી: content, abstract content)
abstract representation of a text or text fragment, assembled from constructors. Technically, an instance of a constructor. The top level constructor is used to represent a whole article and stored in Abstract Wikipedia, but content can be also for just a sentence or phrase. Sometimes called abstract content.
curried, curry, currying (અંગ્રેજી: curried, curry, currying)
A curried function is a function that was translated from taking multiple arguments into a sequence of functions, each with a single argument. This technique is named after the American mathematician Haskell Curry. See Currying in Wikipedia.

execution (અંગ્રેજી: execution)
The action performed by the executor.
executor (અંગ્રેજી: executor)

The identity of a type is an instance of (specific) function that evaluates to the type. For a simple type, it is a reference to the type itself.
implementation (અંગ્રેજી: implementation)
a particular way to execute a function. An implementation may be a piece of code in a certain programming language, refer to functionality “built into” the evaluator, or compose calls to other functions. A function may have many implementations, which should all be equivalent. Short for "ZFunction implementation".

lexeme (અંગ્રેજી: lexeme)
an entry in Wikidata storing lexicographic knowledge about, roughly, a word; see Lexeme in the Wikidata glossary.

reference (અંગ્રેજી: reference)
an ID denoting the underlying object. For example, the string "Z11" refers to the Type Z11/Monolingual text.
Note Note: This term has a completely different meaning than on Wikidata; see Reference (computer science) in Wikipedia.
renderer (અંગ્રેજી: renderer) (1)
a function to convert a ZObject to a string. The opposite of parser. (formerly called "linearizer")
renderer (અંગ્રેજી: renderer) (2)
a function that gets a content and an identifier for a natural language as an input and returns text in that natural language as output, representing the content as concrete text, using knowledge from lexemes.

ઢાંચો (અંગ્રેજી: template)
a way to specify a renderer as text interspersed with place-holders, or slots, which can be filled with data from constructors, function calculation, or content from another template. See the document Template Language for Wikifunctions for a detailed discussion of the template syntax.
પરિક્ષણ (અંગ્રેજી: tester)
a way to automatically determine if a given ZFunction is doing the right thing. A function will typically have multiple testers, each specifying some input to the function and conditions the output for the given input must fulfil. For example, testers for a “title case” function might include: “abc” should become “Abc”; “war and peace” should become “War and Peace”; “война и мир” should become “Война и мир”; and “123” should remain “123”.
transient (અંગ્રેજી: transient)
Opposite of persistent.
પ્રકાર (અંગ્રેજી: type)
The type of an object tells us how to interpret and understand the given object, and what can be done with the object. For example, if we have an object with the value “2023”, depending on whether its type is integer, or year, or string, we understand that object differently. Every object refers to “a thing in the real world”. The integer 2023 is different from the year 2023. The type tells us how to interpret a given object, so that we know which thing in the real world it refers to. Technically, it defines how objects of that type are structured and what conditions they need to fulfill to be a valid object of that type. A type defines the conditions for a ZObject to be a valid instance of this type, by providing a function that validates a ZObject. Types are ZObjects themselves, so that contributors of Wikifunctions can create new types.
type converter (અંગ્રેજી: type converter)
A script written in some programming language (such as JavaScript), taking a native object (such as BigInt), and returning a JSON object representing the corresponding ZObject; or vice versa.
typed list (અંગ્રેજી: typed list)
A typed list is a list in which all members of the list are of a specific, predefined type. For example, a typed list of strings is a list in which all members of the list are strings. A typed list takes one argument: the type that all the members of the list have to be an instance of. Typed lists are probably the most widely used generic type.

V

કિંમત, મૂલ્ય (અંગ્રેજી: value)
the string or ZObject associated with a key in another ZObject.
validation (અંગ્રેજી: validation)
The action performed by the validator.
validator (અંગ્રેજી: validator)
A function taking a ZObject as argument and return a list of errors found.
