[...] I would suggest as a next step that each interested
person summarize his view of how the site, page, module, document,
asset, ande site tree all relate to each other, in just one or two
paragraphs, similar to the way Andreas and SolProvider did at the
beginning of this thread when they wrote "For me, the following text
sounds quite good".  There are probably only two or three such
versions.  Then you committers can vote on which paragraph sounds
best.

OK, I'll give it another try. If you don't think this whole thing
is rubbish, I'd like to ask you to just add your +-1 and use footnotes
for comments, so that the structure stays intact.

- A *publication* is a collection of related pieces of information and
  functionality to manipulate these items. Each piece of information
  can exist in multiple states at the same time. This might be
  implemented using *areas*, revision history labels, or something else.

- The entirety of information pieces of a publication is called
  the *content* of the publication.

- A piece of information, regardless of its nature, which is handled
  as a single unit by Lenya is called

  * asset [+0.3]
  * resource [+0.2]
  * content item [+0.2]
  * document [+0.3]
  * ...

  (I thought about it again, Josias has a point saying images can be
  regarded as documents as well. IMO content item is too long, resource is
  not specific enough.)

- A language version of a piece of information is called a *translation*.

- A version in the history of a translation is called a *revision*.

- The structuring information (there may be several of them) are

  * indexes [+0.5]
  * structures [+0.5]

- A node in the information structure is called

  * (structure/index) node


Thanks for your participation in this discussion,
