No, it means a structured way of describing things by keywords. It is
an attempt at standardizing meta data to create a search function. A
vocabulary is a stricter set of words to use for a purpose. So, package
maintainers should use existing keywords when they reasonably fit
instead of creating new keywords who's meaning is almost identical to an
existing keyword.
Would the following synopsis and description be good?
>(synopsis "Bioconductor package categorization helper")
>(description "The purpose of biocViews is to create HTML pages that
> categorize packages in a Bioconductor package repository according to
> keywords,
> also known as views, in a controlled vocabulary.")
Thanks for your effort and time.
Kind regards,

I don’t know what this means. Does this mean “data structures”? What
is a vocabulary or narrative in this case?
