A

abstract (английский: 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 (английский: AbstractText)
prototype implementation of the Wikifunctions idea.
abstract content (английский: abstract content)
see content.
Абстрактная Википедия (английский: 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 (английский: alias)
an alternative label for an object, used foremost to find the object.
аргумент (английский: argument)
an input given to a function call.
argument reference (английский: argument reference)

array (английский: array)
Many programming languages have an "array" type. The counterparts in Wikifunctions are list and typed list. See also Benjamin array.
статья (английский: article)
a page in the main namespace of Wikipedia, usually representing one entry in Wikipedia.

B

Benjamin array (английский: 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.
boolean (английский: boolean)
a value that can have 2 states, usually denoted true and false.
built-in (английский: built-in)
a native implementation of a function that is provided by the evaluator and that is not editable through the wiki interface.

see function call. In English, the term invoke or invocation may also be used.
canonical, canonicalized, canonicalised (английский: canonical, canonicalized, canonicalised)
a specific, less verbose and thus more readable way to represent ZObjects in JSON; it is the usual representation ZObjects are stored in Wikifunctions. This is opposed to normal.
car (английский: car)
alternative name of head; see CAR and CDR in Wikipedia. See also cdr.
cdr (английский: cdr)
alternative name for tail; see CAR and CDR in Wikipedia. See also car.
символ (английский: character)
a character as defined by Unicode, a constituent of a String; a character can consist of several bytes (or octets).

in a specific natural language. The opposite of abstract.
cons (английский: cons)
a function to create a new list by adding an element at the top of it; see phab:T261474. See cons in Wikipedia.
constructor (английский: 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 (английский: 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 (английский: 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.

I

identity (английский: identity)
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 (английский: 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".

Q

quote (английский: quote)
a data structure that is not to be evaluated but kept verbatim.

renderer (английский: 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.

шаблон (английский: 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.
tester (английский: 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 (английский: transient)
Opposite of persistent.
тип (английский: 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 (английский: 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 (английский: 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

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

W

a ZObject defining a key for a particular type.
ZList (английский: ZList)
a ZObject for an ordered sequence of other ZObjects.
ZObject (английский: ZObject)
every entry in Wikifunctions is a ZObject. ZObjects stored in Wikifunctions have ZIDs and can be of numerous types, such as Constructors, Functions, Types, etc. A ZObject consists of a set of Key/Value pairs, with each Key appearing only once per ZObject and Values being ZObjects.
