A programming language binding for an IDL
specification is an implementation of the interfaces in the
specification for the given language. For example, a Java language
binding for the Document Object Model IDL specification would
implement the concrete Java classes that provide the functionality
exposed by the interfaces.

A language identifier labels information
content as being of a particular human language variant. Following
the XML specification for language identification
[XML] , a legal language identifier is identified by an
RFC 3066
[RFC3066] code. A language code is required by RFC
3066. A country code or other subtag identifier is optional by RFC
3066.

From Requirements
for String Identity Matching and String Indexing (1998-07-10) |
Glossary for this
source
Each individual component that performs a
string identity check has to take equivalences into account. This
is usually done by normalizing each string to a preferred
representation that eliminates duplicates and ambiguities. Because,
with late normalization, normalization is done locally and on the
fly, there is no need to specify a web-wide uniform
normalization.

layout schema (plural: schemata)

From Mathematical
Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21) |
Glossary for this
source
A presentation element defined in chapter
3, other than the token elements and empty elements defined there
(i.e. not the elements defined in Section 3.2 [Token Elements]
and Section 3.5.5 [Alignment Markers], or the empty elements
none and mprescripts defined in Section 3.4.7 [Prescripts and
Tensor Indices (mmultiscripts)]). The layout schemata are never
empty elements (though their content may contain nothing in some
cases), are always expressions, and all allow any MathML
expressions as arguments (except for requirements on argument
count, and the requirement for a certain empty element in
mmultiscripts).

From Glossary of "Weaving the Web"

| Glossary for
this source
In high and far-off
times, people did not see computer programs through windows. They
typed commands on a terminal, and the computer replied with text,
which was displayed on the screen (or printed on a roll of paper)
interleaved with the commands, much as though the person were in a
chat session with the computer program. If you have seen a "DOS
window," then you have some idea of how people did their
communicating with computers in those days, before they learned how
to drag and drop. Line-mode is still a very respectable way to
communicate with a computer.
A Web client that
communicated with the user in line-mode and could run all kinds of
computers that did not have windows or mice.

A table rendering process where the
contents of the cells become a series of paragraphs (e.g., down the
page) one after another. The paragraphs will occur in the same
order as the cells are defined in the document source. Cells should
make sense when read in order and should include structural
elements (that create paragraphs, headers, lists, etc.) so the page
makes sense after linearization.

A link expresses one or more (explicit or implicit)
